The conference – devoted to the 20th anniversary of the Arctic Council –welcomed distinguished experts from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation, the Ministry of Economic Development of the Russian Federation and the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment of the Russian Federation along with youth delegates from around the world. As a representative of the Protection of Arctic Marine Environments (PAME) working group, Erinn helped create mock policies involving the protection of marine species and ecosystems.
