8:40 a.m. — Keynote: John Walsh | chief scientist, International Arctic Research Center, University of ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ Fairbanks Climate change in ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ: Impacts on health Climate change has impacted ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ in subtle ways, ranging from the state's vegetative landscape to patterns of land use and even land ownership. In this presentation, we will highlight several major climatic trends in ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ over the past 50 years, including the trends of extreme events that are among the most consequential manifestations of climate change. The most notable impacts fall into several categories, including effects of warmer temperatures on invasive species and harmful algal blooms; effects of longer drier summers on air quality through wildfire smoke and road dust; and increases in hazards associated with thinning ice, thawing ground and flooding. |

Emerging themes from the conference
This session offers a platform to exchange ideas on One Health themes emerging from the conference. The session will begin with introductory remarks from an invited panel of speakers to spark a discussion with participants on circumpolar One Health perspectives and insights gained during the conference. We envision these discussions to build on conference session themes and expand beyond them to generate new insights for One Health research and collaborations from local to circumpolar scales.
We welcome all participants to join this interactive wrap-up dialogue session of the One Health, One Future conference.
A panel discussion moderated by Tuula Hollmen, University of ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ Fairbanks

The purpose of this session is to take stock on progress towards circumpolar One Health cooperation under the Arctic Council project, One Health, One Arctic (2015-present), and to identify plans for a sustainable future of the One Health network moving forward.
Participants from all Arctic Council member states and permanent participant organizations are invited to offer views on ways that the knowledge sharing, exercises and joint investigations embodied in the project can remain robust, regardless of future Arctic Council activities.
This session will be deliberative and nondecisional.
