In ALAMOT, we study how laws and policy frameworks in the management of our Arctic National Parks can be developed to meet the growing challenges of a changing climate and increased tourism.

ALAMOT is a Nordic research project funded by NordForsk to investigate the growing challenges facing Arctic national parks and nearby communities. ALAMOT project aims to find practical and fair solutions for protecting both biodiversity and Indigenous rights and livelihoods in these rapidly changing regions.

Mid Sweden University's role in ALAMOT is to lead the work to increase knowledge about how climate change with a changing extreme weather and increased tourism affects animal and plant life as well as the conditions for living and working in our Arctic national parks in Sweden, Norway and Finland.
