The North American Arctic - the region spanning Alaska, the Yukon, the Northwest Territories, Nunavut, and Greenland - is increasingly recognized for its distinct landscapes, strong historic and cultural connections between communities and peoples, and rising opportunities for knowledge sharing. This speaker series invests in the people, opportunities, and strength of the NAA by providing a platform for knowledge sharing, networking, and international collaboration on pressing issues facing the region. Join us for a timely and solutions-focused conversation with leading voices in shaping innovative Arctic energy futures. This one-hour webinar will feature Dr. Jeremy Kasper (Director, Alaska Center for Energy and Power), Ms. Heather Shilton (Director, Nunavut Nukkiksautiit Corporation), and Mr. Thomas Ravnshøj Davidsen (Senior Business Developer, NunaGreen), as they share insights on the future of community-driven renewable energy and sustainable infrastructure across the circumpolar North. From hybrid systems in Alaska to Inuit-led clean energy in Nunavut and Greenlandic business innovation, this panel will explore the technological, cultural, and policy levers needed to power a just energy transition in Arctic communities. The event will be moderated by Dr. Melody Brown Burkins, Director of the Institute of Arctic Studies at Dartmouth.
