Gad and Strandsbjerg have succeeded in gathering an interdisciplinary group of scholars that share their insight into the many aspects, understandings, perceptions and applications of the politics of sustainability in the Arctic. The multifaceted approaches and answers to the editors' key research questions: 'What is to be sustained?' 'In relation to what?' and 'How?' provide valuable reading for the academic community, politicians, indigenous peoples' organisations as well as other Arctic decision makers and stakeholders. - Birger Poppel, Ilisimatusarfik, University of Greenland As the SDGs are being implemented as a tool for monitoring both human and planetary well-being, the essays in The Politics of Sustainability in the Arctic: Reconfiguring Identity, Space, and Time serve as a crucial reminder that probing the reference object of sustainability, an historical gaze and empirical richness are necessary for understanding sustainability politics. - Annika E. Nilsson, Independent researcher, Sweden
