Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine dramatically changed the political and economic context, and the environmental policy for the Arctic region. International sanctions, lack of transparency and Russia’s self-isolation from Western countries limit access to timely and reliable information. We observe a rise in military, environmental, climate and radiation risks, which spread far beyond the Russian territory.
Our panel will try to show what the current state of play is in extractive industry, shipping, nuclear activity, as well as in the civil society in the Russian Arctic. Our panelists will try to answer the question: What are the Arctic consequences of Russia’s policies and aggression against Ukraine?
