Short summary
A conference was organised to prepare for an exhibition raising awareness of climate change, its consequences in the Arctic, and how much cultural heritage will be lost unless people start to act. An important issue debated was how to present Arctic people. It was argued that the balance between presenting Arctic people as resilient and stressing the current climate situation's seriousness and the big changes it brings to the ways of life and loss of heritage should be central to the exhibition.
