The Fletcher Warming Arctic Conference
The 4th annual Warming Arctic International Inquiry at the Fletcher School comes at a time when the United States assumes the chairmanship of the Arctic Council. With this honor comes the responsibility to protect the Arctic and its environment as it continues to warm at a much faster rate than the rest of the globe, opening up land, waters and treasures to exploitation.
The Fletcher School will convene high-level decision makers from both diplomacy and security, cutting-edge energy and science researchers, and social, environmental and business stakeholders, to investigate solutions to the Arctic Paradox and promote a sustainable future for Arctic inhabitants within a “High North, Low Tension” policy framework.
There will be a special appearance by the North American debut of the Arctic Circle Assembly's panel "Rising Stars: Young Arctic Energy Researchers".
