Histórico
Harald Finkler formerly headed the Circumpolar Affairs Directorate of Indian and Northern Affairs Canada. He was responsible for the international dimension of the Department’s northern mandate, and strengthening cooperation, bilaterally and multilaterally, with Canada’s circumpolar neighbors. Multilaterally, as Director, he oversaw the provision of policy and organizational support to the Arctic Council. Moreover, Harald also acted as Canadian chair of the Council’s Sustainable Development Working Group.
Bilaterally, he guided the Directorate’s initiatives on cooperation with the Russian Federation on the Arctic. In this regard, Harald played a pivotal role in the Directorate’s longstanding contribution to Canada-USSR/Russia arctic cooperation achieved through technical assistance initiatives in building the capacity of the Indigenous Peoples of the Russian North.
Since his retirement, he continues his polar engagement as consultant on northern and indigenous issues.
