The Working Group on Sustainable Development (SDWG) was established by Arctic Ministers at the first Arctic Council Ministerial meeting, held in Iqaluit, Nunavut, Canada, September 1998. The objective of the SDWG is to protect and enhance the economies, culture and health of the inhabitants of the Arctic, in an environmentally sustainable manner. Currently the Sustainable Development Working Group is involved in projects in the areas of children and youth, health, telemedicine, resource management, cultural and ecological tourism, and living conditions in the Arctic.
