Om arrangementet
The Arctic has taken a central position on the international political agenda. A growing number of countries are showing an interest in economic and geopolitical matters in the far north, while climate change is being increasingly felt within the Arctic area.
Co-operation is now limited between Russia and the other nations bordering the Arctic in the Nordic Region and North America, while major powers such as China and India are showing a growing interest in the area.
As an attractive, strategic and vulnerable region, the Arctic is particularly dependent on good co-operation across national borders.
We bring together stakeholders from different parts of the Arctic co-operation and ask:
What is the strategic importance of the Arctic region in Nordic and transatlantic co-operation?
How can we work together to ensure the peaceful and sustainable management of the Arctic?
Which roles do science, local interests, and indigenous populations play?
Debate and mingle
The debate lasts for 45-minutes. It is followed by an open mingle & networking session with food and refreshments.
