This exclusive event will convene a select group of experts, senior policymakers, and practitioners from both Arctic and non-Arctic states to discuss the evolving security dynamics in the region.
The discussion will focus on key themes such as geopolitical competition, regional cooperation, and the role of Arctic governance frameworks in an increasingly contested international environment, including:
- The gradual shift in Arctic relations from collaboration toward more competitive dynamics, influenced by wider global tensions.
- The strategic interests of key international actors in the region, including growing political engagement, military activity, infrastructure development, and economic presence.
- The implications of great power rivalry, climate change, and shifting military postures for regional stability.
- The evolving role of NATO and the European Union in safeguarding Arctic security.
