The Arctic Council : Between Environment
The Arctic Council : Between Environment
This pivot introduces the Arctic Council and its role as a platform for dealing with local, national, regional and global challenges of relevance to the "new" Arctic. Against the backdrop of climate change and increasing commercial activity, it considers what a future Arctic should look like, from ideas of total protection to expansive oil and gas extraction. It examines the Arctic''s position on the political agenda, from Norway''s High North hype to a more peripheral place in the foreign policy of the US and explores the Council''s role as an important international forum for dialogue and cooperation on Arctic challenges and opportunities, and a significant arena for developing knowledge and learning about a changing region.
