Harvard Kennedy School’s Arctic Initiative, the Fridtjof Nansen Institute (FNI), the Center for Ocean Governance at the Norwegian Institute of International Affairs (NUPI), and the Wilson Center's Polar Institute will host a discussion with a panel of international experts to unpack the Arctic's intricate challenges and their global ramifications, from international politics to climate impacts. This webinar panel discussion will take place Tuesday, 12 September 2023 at 12:00 p.m. Eastern Time.
Webinar description:
Once a symbol of international cooperation and peace, the Arctic now stands at a crossroads between geopolitical tension and diverse opportunities and challenges that require collaboration. Following Russia's actions in Ukraine and subsequent shifts in Arctic governance, how will nations advance significant policy issues, such as climate science and emergency response, without a functioning governance system?

- Elana Wilson Rowe, Research Professor, Norwegian Institute of International Affairs
- Fran Ulmer, Senior Fellow, Arctic Initiative, Harvard Kennedy School
