20 – 22 January 2013

New opportunities create new challenges. This principle is central to how we must explore, develop, and manage the Arctic. Today the Arctic is an emerging energy and mineral province, with the extraction of natural resources projected to increase dramatically in the coming years to decades. New industrial activities, a changing business community, and demographic dynamics will alter the established social structures in several regions of the Arctic. Non-Arctic Asian and European states and the European Union, are increasingly focusing more attention on the changing Arctic. How will these new players alter the game?

The 7th Arctic Frontiers conference addresses the contemporary and emerging political issues for the changing Arctic. How do states in and outside the region prepare strategically for the new Arctic reality? How does the global security architecture impact on security in the Arctic? How important is Arctic oil and gas production for global demand and the energy security of various states? How will traditional businesses interact with new industry, and if and how will profits from industrial activities benefit the people living in the High North.

Change is the keyword which best describes the future of the Arctic. A warming Arctic with less ice creates economic opportunities but it also presents new challenges for Arctic stakeholders. Join us at this year's Arctic Frontiers Conference to engage with the experts and be ready to meet the challenges that lie ahead for the Arctic.
