Abstract

Summer has finally arrived here on the North Norwegian coast, and even as pleasant as the mild summer weather is, there is no denying that this spring has reminded us of how fragile susceptible we are to changes in climate and weather. The latter is something we as northerners have been resilient to since… forever, but the slow but relentless changes in the overall climate leaves us with more precipitation, warmer winters and locked-in weather systems. In Nordland this has manifested in a two month long rainy season during what is usually spring. Modelling shows that the Lofoten Islands may very well be snow-free in 2070, and data shows that, as an example, Vågan municipality receives 60% more precipitation now than in the 1960s We hope that as we brace for the consequences of lack of action on climate change, our community remain firm in our commitment to keep focusing on lives lived in the north, and how to secure it. Do continue to let us know what you’re all up to, we at Northern Notes would love to be able to show more of all the wonderful work that is being done out there.
