Did Finland fail as Arctic Council chair?

Finland’s Arctic Council chairmanship ended without a final declaration. Butt, assessed as a whole, though, how did its two-year chairmanship go?

The chair of the Arctic Council organises the meetings of the Sustainable Development Working Group and the Senior Arctic Officials as well as the ministerial meeting that concludes the chairmanship period. It is the skill of the chair to listen carefully to all the members of the Arctic Council. Each member state must accept all decisions. These decisions are made by consensus. The member states will also listen closely to what the indigenous organizations that are permanent participants in the Arctic Council have to say about the decisions being devised.
