We will show:

• Applicability
• Inter-connection (between Human Security and Societal security)
Right based approach
• How does security discussions enable people to be more involved andconsulted in the decision-making process?
• In what ways the corporate responsibility can be integrated within theright based approach of human security?
Social dynamics
• How demographic changes (e.g. increasing incoming population due toindustrial development) may contribute to different challenges in aninteraction amongst indigenous, local and incoming population?
Other challenges
• How can the other apparent sociocultural challenges pertaining tohealth and well-being (e.g. food safety and security, access to freshwater as well as to health care facility) of the Arctic population beperceived from human security perspective?
