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.

584 DRUM, Inuit Circumpolar Council Alaska Newsletter Volume 9, Issue 4, December 2016, Article by the President James Stotts Itƒ??s All About Meaningful Engagementƒ?Ý 2016 General - Resouce Indigenous Peoples ICC Alaska Talks about the new and past administration with regard to Arctic climate change: Arctic Ocean stewardship, and: improving economic and living conditions in the Arctic. Climate change is important but focus should be an adaptation of indigenous people and the past administration worked with ENGOs and not the Inuit. Ocean Stewardship the setting aside of the Bering Sea Climate Resilience area was generally supported by not so much for the Chukchi Sea and Beaufort Sea withdrawals. The North Slope Borough and the Northwest Arctic Borough together with the Arctic Slope Regional Corporation and NANA Regional Corporation were not consulted. Itƒ??s all about meaningful engagement. Until the US decides to sit down with Inuit to discuss common concerns from start-to-finish, results will be less than optimum.
