About SDWG
The Sustainable Development Framework Document was adopted by the Ministerial meeting in Barrow in 2000, outlining the elements of the SD Program and identifying six subject areas under the heading of sustainable development of special importance:
> Health issues and the well-being of people living in the Arctic
> Sustainable economic activities and increasing community prosperity
> Education and cultural heritage
> Children and youth
> Management of natural, including living, resources
> Infrastructure development
Various projects in these and related fields have been established within the auspices of the SDWG since its establishment.
