Arctic Policy

Arctic policy refers to the strategies and approaches taken by countries regarding the Arctic region, focusing on issues like environmental protection, indigenous rights, resource management, and geopolitical interests. As the Arctic ice melts due to climate change, new shipping routes and natural resources, such as oil and gas, become accessible, increasing competition among nations. Arctic policy aims to balance economic opportunities with the need to protect fragile ecosystems and respect the rights of indigenous peoples. Cooperation among Arctic nations, as well as global awareness, is essential to ensure sustainable development and security in this sensitive region.
