The Arctic Research Consortium of the U.S. (ARCUS) invites registration for the next Arctic Research Seminar featuring Henry Huntington, Arctic Science Director for Ocean Conservancy and an independent researcher. Henry's presentation, titled Effects of Arctic Commercial Shipping on Environments and Communities: context, governance, priorities, will be held via Zoom on Wednesday, 4 October 2023 at 9:00 a.m. AKDT (1:00 p.m. EDT).
Seminar Abstract:
We examined recent shipping trends and assessed their impact on Arctic environments and communities. We conclude that greater international co-ordination is needed to learn from experience, to share assets and capacities, and to guide responsible and sustainable development of Arctic shipping. Given the possibility for opening of the Transpolar Sea Route within the coming decades, further proactive steps, such as developing a governance framework, could help Arctic shipping avoid rather than attempt to correct problems.
Registration is required for this event. Instructions for accessing the webinar will be sent to registrants prior to the event.
