Arctic Human Health Expert Group (AHHEG)

The SDWG Arctic Human Health Expert Group (AHHEG) is an integrated research community with interest in circumpolar community health and wellness. The mandate of this expert group is to support and advance knowledge gained through ecosystem and community based research to support circumpolar communities in developing practical responses to the human health impacts.

Moreover, the AHHEG aims toward greater collaboration and synergies between Arctic Council Working Groups, Indigenous peoples and other Arctic inhabitants and organizations, academic institutions and other relevant circumpolar organizations in the development of sustainable and integrated approaches to address attendant human health issues.
