Arctic Governance

Arctic governance refers to the management and regulation of activities in the Arctic region, including issues like environmental protection, shipping, resource extraction, and indigenous rights. It involves international agreements, regional organizations, and national governments working together to balance economic development with preserving the fragile environment. Since the Arctic is shared by countries like the U.S., Canada, Russia, Norway, and others, governance ensures that these nations cooperate to prevent conflict, protect ecosystems, and address climate change impacts while respecting the rights of indigenous peoples. This coordinated approach aims for sustainable and peaceful use of the Arctic's resources and environment.
