Today's challenges go beyond government deadlines, territorial disputes, or borders on a map. Addressing these global issues demands immediate collaborative efforts and swift decision-making. The impacts of climate change, the need for sustainable development, and geopolitical tensions are all deeply connected. We must dismantle the barriers between science, business, and policy. This will improve communication and cooperation and ensure that the Arctic can positively influence the world stage.
Big Picture Sessions
The challenges of today go beyond deadlines decided by governments, territorial claims on oceans and lands, or borders drawn on a map.
