Svea settlement coal port on Svalbard), and the extension of the 2012). This area contains among the most vulnerable ecosystems period without sea ice which causes increased exposure to storm in the world. In the context of global climate change, it is seen waves and accelerated coastal erosion (Jones et al. 2013; Zagórski also as a source of information for predicting environmental et al. 2015; Isaev et al. 2019). These intensified destructive activities change and methods of reconstruction at moderate latitudes directly threaten the Arctic coastal communities and hinder the (Bowden 2010; Francis &Vavrus 2012). The Arctic landscape is planning of new investments (Andrew 2014). Although the effects currently undergoing experiencing changes due to accelerated of Arctic warming require sustainable planning and management environmental and anthropogenic processes that both pose risks from decision-makers and investors (Wilson & Piper 2010), this issue and offer potential for human activity in the Arctic (Hjort et al. 2018; is still marginalised in public debate (Jaskólski et al. 2018a).

An estimated 3.6 to 4 million people live in the Arctic area (Bogoyavlensky 2004; Hjort et al. 2018) and human activity Objectives, Methods & Research area is concentrated mainly in the coastal zone, where the strongest The aim of this paper was to review and summarise the anthropogenic interactions with the environment occur (Forbes most important studies on the interaction between humans and 2011). Over the last 30 years, the Arctic climate has changed the environment in the Arctic coastal zone under the impact of the significantly, with the observed increase in temperature being warming climate and associated geohazards. twice the global average (Notz & Stroeve 2018; Lewkowicz & Way 2019). The main method to achieve this goal was a widespread Warming in the Arctic has accelerated and intensified literature search, which included the following: scientific articles geomorphological processes that directly affect human safety and books, media reports, popular science books, tourist (IPCC 2014; IPCC 2019). The Arctic Coast Report highlights the guides, planning materials, aerial photographs and census role of the coastal zone as an area where serious environmental databases. The research paper drew on information from over changes have a direct impact on Arctic communities (Forbes 2011; 140 bibliographical items published between 1960-2020, and Strzelecki 2011; Overduin et al. 2014).

We focus on cross-institutional and cross-country partnerships between preparedness institutions and companies. We elaborate on the operational crisis management of joint emergency operations including several parts of the preparedness system and resources from several countries. The project goals are: • To increase understanding of the future demands for preparedness systems in the High North including both search and rescue, oil spill recovery, fire fighting and salvage, as well as capacities fighting terror or other forms of destructive action. • To study partnerships and coordination challenges related to cross-border, multi-task emergency cooperation • To contribute with organizational tools for crisis management Project characteristics: Financial support: -Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, -the Nordland county Administration -University partners.

  • Russia's Northern Fleet and the Oil Industry – Rivals Or Partners
    Russia’s Northern Fleet and the Oil Industry – Rivals or Partners? Petroleum, Security and Civil-Military Relations in the Post-Cold War European Arctic Kristian Åtland Described as one of the world’s most promising new energy provinces, the European Arctic is no longer seen primarily as a military playground. Russia’s approach to the region is increasingly governed by national economic interests, rather than by national security interests. The development of offshore oil and gas fields, the construction of new pipelines and terminals, the increasing traffic of oil tankers to Western Europe and the United States, and the conversion of naval yards to civilian production, represent both new challenges and new opportunities for the Russian Navy. Issues that were previously considered crucial to the country’s national security have slowly but steadily been “desecuritized”, and new patterns of civil- military relations have emerged. This article discusses the relationship between the Russian petroleum industry and the Northern Fleet, and the interplay between Russian commercial and military interests in the post-Cold War European Arctic. Twenty years ago, the European Arctic1 was among the most heavily militarized regions of the world. The fiords on the northern coast of the Kola Peninsula were full of naval bases, and Soviet nuclear submarines were frequently operating in the frigid waters of the Barents Sea. The level of tension on NATO’s northern flank was high, and this was reflected in the position of the Soviet Northern Fleet. Civilian activities in and by the Barents Sea were severely restricted, and Soviet politics on the Arctic were largely governed by military-strategic interests and national security concerns.

  • Circumpolar Military Facilities of the Arctic Five
    CIRCUMPOLAR MILITARY FACILITIES OF THE ARCTIC FIVE Ernie Regehr, O.C. Senior Fellow in Arctic Security and Defence The Simons Foundation and Michelle Jackett, M.A. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Circumpolar Military Facilities of the Arctic Five – last updated: September 2017 Ernie Regehr, O.C., and Michelle Jackett, M.A. Circumpolar Military Facilities of the Arctic Five Introduction This compilation of current military facilities in the circumpolar region1 continues to be offered as an aid to addressing a key question posed by the Canadian Senate more than five years ago: “Is the [Arctic] region again becoming militarized?”2 If anything, that question has become more interesting and relevant in the intervening years, with commentators divided on the meaning of the demonstrably accelerated military developments in the Arctic – some arguing that they are primarily a reflection of increasing military responsibilities in aiding civil authorities in surveillance and search and rescue, some noting that Russia’s increasing military presence is consistent with its need to respond to increased risks of things like illegal resource extraction, terrorism, and disasters along its frontier and the northern sea route, and others warning that the Arctic could indeed be headed once again for direct strategic confrontation.3 While a simple listing of military bases, facilities, and equipment, either

  • KNAPK - the Association of Fishermen and Hunters in Greenland)
    Address by Kalaallit Nunaani Aalisartut Piniartullu Kattuffiat (KNAPK - The Association of Fishermen and Hunters in Greenland) I am proud to welcome you all to: the home of growing numbers of wild North Atlantic salmon; one of the cleanest waters of the world where the wild Atlantic salmon can find its most important feeding grounds and enjoys its stay with us; the place where responsible professional fishermen in Greenland, members of KNAPK, have done a lot to restore the wild North Atlantic salmon; the place where the wild Atlantic salmon is present all year around. I hope that before you leave you will be able to help benefit the professional fishermen who are members of KNAPK by giving us approval to utilize the increasing numbers of wild Atlantic salmon in our waters. Thanks to the North Atlantic Salmon Fund and to the Atlantic Salmon Federation, the members of KNAPK have individually helped the restoration of wild Atlantic salmon numbers by agreeing not to fish salmon but to concentrate on other species. For instance the lumpfish fishery in Greenland is now biggest in the world. This has only been possible through generous funding donated internationally by private individuals over the last 20 years. This cooperation between our fishermen and conservationists has resulted in growing numbers of wild Atlantic salmon. The observation that this is the case comes from our members along the coast. These fishermen are now reporting to our headquarters that wild Atlantic salmon are being seen and caught occasionally as a by-catch during the winter months of December, January and February.
