MEMA Information Database

  • MEMA Information Database

The MEMA Information Database is a compilation of over 750 documents that relate to engagement of Indigenous Peoples and local communities and formed the basis for the MEMA Reports I & II. The documents may be legislation and regulations, or it may be guidance and recommendations by governments, Arctic Council, academia, NGOs, industry and Indigenous People.

This database may be interrogated in many ways, such as by source (government, Arctic Council, Indigenous Peoples, industry, academia, NGO, or the UN), or by type of activity (oil and gas, marine management, shipping, tourism, preparedness/response, and scientific research) or by country. Each entry has a link to the document and has metadata containing a summary of the engagement in the document, whether it is law, agreement or guidance, who is being engaged, key words, and the stage of engagement, among other parameters.

We are excited to share this database and encourage its use. This is a living document that can be updated.

530 Corporate Social Responsibility in the Arctic 2016 Leana Garipova, The Georgetown Law Journal Vol. 104:973 2016 Resource Development Academic - NGO Georgetown Law School CONCLUSION Rapidly growing corporate oil and gas development is the key threat to indigenous peoplesƒ?? rights in the Arctic to their lands and livelihoods. Using the Komi peoples of the Russian Arctic as an illustrative example, this Note showed that current legal instruments under international law, the Arctic specific framework, and domestic law are inadequate to protect indigenous land rights against Arctic oil and gas corporate activity. To mitigate this inadequacy and protect Arctic indigenous land rights, this Note proposed two ideas: to develop Arctic Specific Corporate Social Responsibility in the Arctic Economic Council and to strengthen the enforcement of the Equator Principles against corporations operating in the Arctic. Advancing corporate social responsibility in the Arctic could help to create meaningful dialogue between indigenous peoples and corporate actors to operationalize indigenous peoplesƒ?? land rights in relation to corporate activity                         530_garipova-corporate-social-responsibility-arctic.pdf
