ABOUT OUR PROJECT

The Arctic Renewable Energy Atlas (AREA) is a project of the Arctic Council’s Sustainable Development Working Group, focused on supporting sustainable development and healthy, resilient communities in the Arctic.

We bring together tools for Arctic communities working to transition to renewable energy, and showcase this transition to the world. Tools include GIS mapping data, community stories, best practices, training, financing and policy information. It is a living project, which continues to develop as new funds, data and resources become available.

Our partners include governments and organizations from around the world. We are continually working to include new data in our energy map, and include new resources. If you have new data, resources or other suggestions, we would love to hear from you.
