DESCRIPTION:The Arctic is warming up to four times faster than
  the rest of the Earth. News of the alarming loss 
 of ice now reaches around the world\, but we don’t
  hear enough about what is happening to Arctic lan
 d that is no longer covered by ice and snow — it i
 s becoming green. “Arctic greening” describes this
  alarming increase of vegetation around the Northe
 rn world\, which accelerates global warming and pe
 rmafrost thaw. But greening in the Arctic also ins
 pires economic\, political\, and imaginative innov
 ation among local and Indigenous Arctic peoples\, 
 who are “experts of change\,” as Mininnguaq Kleist
  (Ministry of Foreign Affairs\, Greenland) affirme
 d at the Arctic Circle Assembly of 2023.\n\n“Green
 ing” thus means different things to different peop
 le. For social scientists\, it is a deliberate int
 roduction of plants into built environments. Ecolo
 gists and geographers each observe plants transfor
 ming Arctic lands through different lenses\, with 
 different results. For Arctic farmers\, the increa
 sing ability of plants to grow brings both new opp
 ortunities and unpredictability. How do we make se
 nse of these different visions of greening? This p
 anel discussion will examine the dramatic expansio
 n of plant life across the Arctic from a variety o
 f viewpoints\, considering the sciences and arts\,
  and farms\, forests\, and tundra together.\n\nReg
