The participation of Indigenous peoples and the application of their environmental and ecological knowledge in the Arctic Environmental Protection Strategy / prepared by the Inuit Circumpolar Conference...: R74-45/1993E-PDF

"In June 1991, a Declaration on the Protection of the Arctic Environment was signed by Ministers representing the eight countries that, in September 1989, first met to begin their participation in what is now commonly referred to as the Rovaniemi Process. This process was developed at the initiative of Finland and included Canada, Denmark, Iceland, Norway and Russia (formerly the USSR), Sweden and the United States. The Rovaniemi Process is concerned with the need for these eight countries to plan joint measures for the immediate and long-term protection of the Arctic environment"--Background and objectives, p. 1.
