INTERACT at COP29

In November 2024, INTERACT participated in COP 29 held in Baku, Azerbaijan. ​For the first time, an Arctic pavilion was established by the Northern Forum, highlighting the importance of Arctic sustainability. ​ Prof. Terry Callaghan CMG, the Honorary President of INTERACT NPA, participated in a panel discussion on climate change and presented INTERACT's initiatives.

The event provided a valuable platform for networking and showcasing INTERACT's work, including continuous screenings of our docuseries and displaying publications at the Arctic Forum’s front desk. ​

INTERACT's presence at COP 29 has strengthened its visibility and connections within the Arctic Council and beyond, fostering trust with Indigenous communities and expanding its network for future support.
