Arctic Environmental Protection Strategy (AEPS)

The Arctic Environmental Protection Strategy (AEPS) is an international agreement established in 1991 to address environmental issues in the Arctic region. It involves eight Arctic nations: Canada, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Russia, Sweden, and the United States. The AEPS aims to protect the unique Arctic environment by promoting sustainable development, enhancing environmental protection, and facilitating cooperation among the countries. It focuses on issues like pollution, climate change, wildlife conservation, and the sustainable use of resources, recognizing the need for collective action to preserve this fragile ecosystem for future generations.
