PAME Work Plan

The PAME Working Group is meeting in Tromsö, Norway, this week. Over 60 delegates will take part in the meeting, while numerous other meetings take part, including within PAME expert groups.

This week sees an unprecedented gathering of four of the Arctic Council’s six Working Groups at the same time. The others are ACAP (Arctic Contaminants Action Program), AMAP (Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Programme), CAFF (Conservation of Arctic Flora and Fauna).

While the four Working Groups will meet in parallel for much of the week, all four will come together for a session on Wednesday to discuss cross-cutting issues. The Chair of Senior Arctic Officials, Amb. David Balton, will take part in the joint meeting on Wednesday, including offering welcoming remarks.
