Abstract
The article presents an analysis of the strategies of universities in Nordic countries and North America to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. It demonstrates that the sustainable development of northern territories holds one of the first places on the scientific and technical agenda of the leading countries of world science. The article discusses the methods and practices used to implement the concept of sustainable development and the principles of equality and inclusivity. It also discusses measures taken to preserve the languages and cultures of the indigenous peoples in the North, as well as efforts to promote diversity and engagement. It is shown that a significant part of the long-term objectives defined in the strategies of universities in Northern Europe and North America is aimed at increasing their contribution to the sustainable development of regions, a climate-neutral society, reducing inequality and the development of indigenous peoples. Based on the case studies of universities in Finland, Sweden, Norway, Greenland, Canada and the USA, recommendations are given for Arctic universities in Russia on the development and adjustment of ESG strategies.
