SMARTIC (Strategic Management of Resources in Times of Change)

Based on the approach of the US Navy’s Fleet Arctic Operations Game, participants take on the roles of key Arctic stakeholders in this marine spatial planning activity.  Players set resource and development priorities based on changing conditions in the region, and negotiate to resolve conflicts and manage competing interests.  The game is currently available as a facilitated classroom activity via the CAMEL website.  

All materials for the facilitated classroom version of SMARTIC are available through the CAMEL website.  If you need guidance on how to run the activity, or have feedback based on your experience, contact us at polar@ei.columbia.edu.
