“…pasture degradation, conflicting land uses and depredation as well as their interaction with climate change. These cumulative impacts may be felt most immediately by the sector with the smallest existing margins for their activities, such as reindeer husbandry (Keskitalo 2010;Prno et al 2011). …”

Reindeer grazing has been entitled as ecological keystone in arctic-alpine landscapes. In addition, reindeer husbandry is tightly connected to the identity of the indigenous Sámi people in northern Europe. Nowadays, reindeer husbandry is challenged in several ways, of which pasture degradation, climate change, conflicting land uses and predation are the most important. Research on reindeer-related topics has been conducted for more than half a century and this review illuminates whether or not research is capable to match these challenges. Despite its high quality, traditional reindeer-related research is functionally isolated within the various disciplines. The meshwork of ecology, socio-economy, culture and politics, however, in which reindeer husbandry is embedded by various interactions, will remain unclear and difficult to manage, if actors and relationships are kept separate. We propose some targets for new integrative research approaches that incorporate traditional knowledge and focus on the entire human-ecological system 'reindeer husbandry' to develop solutions for its challenges.

“…Swedish data on responses to economic changes are drawn from semi-structured interviews with stakeholders in forestry in the county of Norrbotten (the Pite River Valley) in 2003-2004 (n = 12, described further in Keskitalo [12]) and with multi-use forest stakeholders in the municipality of Gällivare in 2008 for the case of economic restructuring (n = 27, [36]). These cases are from a low-populated county of Sweden which traditionally has been strongly forestry-dependent.…”

Abstract:Coping or adaptation following large-scale disturbance may depend on the political system and its preparedness and policy development in relation to risks. Adaptive or foresight planning is necessary in order to account and plan for potential risks that may increase or take place concurrently with climate change. Forests constitute relevant examples of large-scale renewable resource systems that have been directly affected by recent environmental and social changes, and where different levels of management may influence each other. This article views disturbances in the forest sectors of Sweden and Canada, two large forest nations with comparable forestry experiences, in order to elucidate the preparedness and existing responses to multiple potential stresses. The article concludes that the two countries are exposed to stresses that indicate the importance of the governing and institutional system particularly with regard to multi-level systems including federal and EU levels. While economic change largely results in privatization of risk onto individual companies and their economic resources (in Canada coupled with a contestation of institutional systems and equity in these), storm and pest outbreaks in particular OPEN ACCESS Forests 2011, 2 506 challenge institutional capacities at administrative levels, within the context provided by governance and tenure systems.

“…Dawson et al (2007Dawson et al ( , 2009 proposent plutôt de parler du cycle de vie de l'adaptation touristique. La notion de vulnérabilité, considérée comme l'antithèse de la résilience (Folke 2006), a aussi été employée pour comprendre la nature dynamique des processus de croissance du tourisme (Keskitalo 2010). Ainsi, en présence de changement, une communauté résiliente trouvera des opportunités de développement et de diversification alors qu'une communauté vulnérable, sans capacité d'adaptation, pourrait être dévastée ou cesser de fonctionner alors qu'elle fait face aux mêmes degrés de changement (Adams 2010;Ruiz-Ballestros 2010).…”

Dans le cadre de notre projet de recherche sur la vulnérabilité et la résilience du tourisme dans l’Arctique, nous avons évalué les interactions entre le changement climatique et le tourisme dans les communautés de l’Arctique canadien. Dans cet article, nous nous intéressons à la capacité d’adaptation en présentant les résultats d’entrevues menées à Nain au Nunatsiavut, dans la province de Terre-Neuve-et-Labrador. Alors que de nombreux résidents ont manifesté leur enthousiasme à propos de la nouvelle désignation de leur communauté en tant que point d’entrée du parc national du Canada des Monts-Torngat, il y avait aussi une insatisfaction par rapport à certains aspects du nouveau parc, comme le manque de possibilités d’emplois locaux. Certains se sont montrés optimistes à propos du potentiel encore inexploité que constitue le tourisme (de la croisière aux visites écotouristiques accompagnées de guides locaux), alors que d’autres ont manifesté leur inquiétude. En tenant compte du fait que le développement touristique au Nunatsiavut en est à ses débuts, nous concluons que les stratégies d’adaptation devraient continuer à mettre l’accent sur l’éducation et viser l’information et la mobilisation des résidents dans les initiatives locales et régionales.
