An early-release episode, \u201cThe Arctic on Fire,\u201d explores the changing fire regime, the impact of wildfires on the community and global scale, and how restoring Indigenous fire practices could be part of the solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On 30 June, the Arctic Council published the first episode<\/a> of its new podcast, \u201cThis Way Up<\/a>\u201d, a special early release ahead of season one, slated for publishing in fall 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This Way Up is the Arctic Council podcast that introduces you to the people and stories shaping a changing Arctic. Each episode explores an important topic in the Arctic through storytelling, where guests share their own unique experiences and ideas. Personal stories from across the circumpolar Arctic will showcase what makes the region and its Peoples so unique and inspiring. This Way Up is hosted by Jessica Cook of the Arctic Council Secretariat and Rosa-M\u00e1ren Magga of the Indigenous Peoples\u2019 Secretariat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The early-release episode, \u201cThe Arctic on Fire,\u201d is now available on all open podcast platforms<\/a>. The episode about Arctic wildfires was published early due to the 2025 wildfire season already in motion. From the record-shattering 2023 wildfire season in Canada to the zombie fires smoldering beneath the boreal forests, Arctic wildfires are reshaping landscapes, threatening communities and accelerating global climate change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this episode, learn about the changing fire regime and how Arctic wildfires impact everyone across the globe from Edward Alexander of Gwich\u2019in Council International and Sue Natali and Brenden Rogers of the Woodwell Climate Research Center. Hear from Edward Alexander, Chief Bill Erasmus of Arctic Athabaskan Council and Vladimir Klimov of RAIPON, who share both the devastating impact wildfires have had on their communities, as well as the beneficial uses of fire practiced by their ancestors until colonization put a stop to Indigenous cultural burning. Finally, explore how restoring Indigenous fire practices and integrating knowledge systems could be part of the solution to improving wildfire management, promoting healthier ecosystems, revitalizing culture and building resilience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
