SAON and CBM With regards to CBM, SAON should: • Work closely with Arctic Indigenous peoples • Support integration and compatibility of CBM-related tasks • Encourage and promote using CBM methods and TK across monitoring in general • Agree on quality guidelines/recommendations and encourage their use
Data sharing • Difficult topic due to questions around ownership, confidentiality, misinterpretation/representation, compatibility problems, etc • Many different groups currently work to solve problems • Need to ensure efforts are not duplicated but integrated • Highlights the importance of successful realization of SAON • SAON can support development of comparable methodologies for sharing of TK
ICC task 9 – data sharing • Better understand what the data and information needs at the community/regional levels are • Technical side: community needs for sharing and access of data • Best practices: highlight the development of methods for integration of TK, CBM into ‘western’ science – possible use as template or guideline
