Arctic Encyclopaedia 2025
The Ocean Policy Research Institute (OPRI) of the Sasakawa Peace Foundation is pleased to announce the publication of the English-language book Arctic Encyclopaedia 2025 in cooperation with the Arctic Economic Council (AEC).
In this volume, more than 200 contributors from 36 countries each selected a single word that connects them to the Arctic and expressed their perspectives through poetry, photographs, essays, illustrations, and other forms of creative work. Together, these contributions present the Arctic’s nature, cultures, economies, and ways of life from a wide range of viewpoints.
Through the voices of politicians, researchers, Indigenous leaders from the Arctic region, and young people who will shape the future, readers can gain a deeper understanding of the Arctic’s diversity and its connections with the wider world, including non-Arctic countries such as Japan.
The online edition is available free of charge and is intended as a valuable resource for educators, students, policymakers, and anyone with an interest in the Arctic.
