Welcome to the first edition of Arctic Monitor, an online resource providing weekly updates on developments across the Arctic region. Arctic Monitor is circumpolar in scope, reporting on environmental, indigenous, economic and social issues that involve or affect the people of the North.

The first edition of the Arctic Portal newsletter was published in February 2010. The newsletter includes a feature on our collaboration with Arctic Portal to develop the next version of the UArctic Atlas.



The newsletter will be published on a quarterly basis and is intended to give users of the Arctic Portal further insights into the work of the Arctic Portal, as well as it's partners within the Arctic Portal Community.
