The book gives a comprehensive analysis of vulnerabilities, challenges and needs that the Barents population experiences today or may encounter in the future. In the book, researchers provide recommendations for new strategies to tackle insecurity and improve the wellbeing of both indigenous and local communities.

The Arctic-Barents Region is facing numerous
pressures, including the effect of environmental changes and extractive industrial
developments, that affect human security challenges among local communities in the
Barents region. The book Society, Environment and Human Security in the
Arctic Barents Region, co-edited by Kamrul
Hossain and Dorothée Cambou, analyzes
the human security from environmental security, economic security, health, food,
water, energy, communities, political security and digital security perspective. The
human security framework has increasingly gained currency at the UN level since 1994
(UNDP) and the book analyses the formation, and promotion, of societal security
within the context of the Arctic-Barents Region.

The book
includes the contributions of a number of Arctic Centre researchers and associate
members including Lassi Heininen, Sarah Mackie, Anna Petrétei, Susanna
Pääkkölä, Dele Raheem, Antonia Sohns, Hanna Lempinen, Tahnee Prior, Giuseppe
Amatulli, Joelle Klein and Mirva
Salminen.
