The Arctic is a vast and complicated region that has been relatively isolated from increasing tensions in other parts of the world – until now. Rising temperatures and declining sea ice levels could increase competition for natural resources, especially gas and oil. Melting ice has also opened up new shipping routes. But can today's Arctic diplomacy handle tomorrow's problems? RAND experts Stephanie Pezard, Ph.D., and Abbie Tingstad, Ph.D., will discuss several potential economic, environmental, and political game-changers that could affect strategic decisions in the Arctic region. Whether or not you have a direct interest in the Arctic, the environmental and geopolitical changes happening there are likely to affect your life and business. Find out how we can ensure stability and mutual prosperity in this important region, now and in the future. Explore the recent developments in the Arctic.
