What will be the new Arctic environments? What future for the Arctic populations? How will changes in the Arctic affect the rest of the planet? Is exploitation of natural resources a benefit or threat to local populations? What does sustainable and responsible resource exploitation mean? This debate will address these challenging questions. It will discuss how best to manage future opportunities in a sustainable and responsible way for the benefit of Arctic nations, and the rest of the planet and what the global impacts of climate change in the Arctic might be over the next century.
