Our Mission
Arctida investigates what lies beneath the surface of grand projects and official rhetoric in the Russian Arctic.We collect data, trace hidden connections, and reveal who makes decisions—and where those decisions lead.
We examine the impacts of climate change, militarization, and growing industrial pressure on the region, exposing corruption and violations of Indigenous rights. We work to make Arctic processes clear and transparent, amplify voices that are being silenced, and build bridges between knowledge and action—and between the Arctic and the world.
