The 4th European Marine Board Forum brought together Arctic stakeholders from multiple sectors (science, industry, policy & governance, NGOs, etc.) to:

• Discuss current trends and patterns of change in Arctic Ocean ecosystems, including human activity;

• Identify possible “2050” scenarios for Arctic Change and the corresponding implications for human health and well-being;

• Highlight key research gaps, needs and challenges in support of understanding, mitigating against, or adapting to Arctic change;

• Stimulate dialogue across sectors to aid common understanding, collaborative actions and sustainability targets;

• Promote the need for a sustainable ecosystem-based management of the Arctic Ocean.
