The changes in the Arctic are being shaped by political, economic, and environmental factors both within and outside the region. Shifts in geopolitics, increased military activities, NATO expansion, and the continuing push for a green transition require measured and deliberate actions. Evolving Arctic development, land and ocean management, and loss of ice will influence local communities. Conversely, Arctic initiatives driven by locals and Indigenous peoples can have global significance.
Responses will need to consider changing coexistence structures, increasing maritime activities, advanced technology, cross-border collaboration and continuous policy development. It is essential to focus on proactive responses rather than reactive measures when dealing with these issues. But are we too caught up in solving immediate problems to consider creating better long-term approaches?
