Conclusion (the committee's words)
The Arctic Council has a proven track record of promoting international collaboration in the Arctic on environmental protection and scientific research. It has provided a vital platform for the voices of the Arctic’s indigenous peoples to be heard, and their status as permanent representatives has been an innovative model of governance.
