![]() I suggest that these two narratives are counterproductive to efforts that seek to resist and reverse the impacts of anthropogenic global warming, and also to efforts to improve human well-being in arctic communities more gener-ally. ![]() I discuss whether these two narratives limit the overall discourse on arctic change, reinforcing one another and creating a scenario of winners and losers that benefits those with the resources to capitalize on new and emerging opportunities while locking others, primarily local residents, into a posture of victimization. In this editorial essay I discuss how changing arctic landscapes and seascapes are presently construed in two dominant science and policy narratives, one regarding the vulnerability and resilience of remote communities, and the second focusing on economic development of emerging opportunities.
