Arctic Cities Crisis Management: Lessons from Covid-19

In this episode we listen to three prominent experts discuss how Cities have dealt with the Covid-19 pandemic and related complications. 

The three experts are:

• Anders Josefsson, Deputy Mayor, City of Luleå, Sweden
• Jaakko Simonen, Associate Professor, Oulu Business School, in Finland; and Member of Arctic 5 -Collaboration
• Jennifer Spence, Executive Secretary of the Arctic Council’s Sustainable Development Working Group

The dialogue is followed by a Q&A with the audience and is moderated by Ásthildur Sturludóttir, Mayor, Municipality of Akureyri, Iceland. 

This event originally took place at the 2021 Arctic Circle Assembly in Reykjavík, Iceland and was organized in collaboration with the Arctic Mayors Forum.
