Natural Resources in the Arctic

DIIS is pleased to invite to a seminar on how natural resources in Greenland and the Arctic are impacting governance in the Arctic.

Governing the Arctic is high on the political agenda among the five Arctic states, and one key issue affecting the relations between the Arctic states is the wealth of natural resources in the Arctic.

The seminar will be broken into two panels: the first focusing on uranium and rare earth elements, followed by a broader discussion on natural resources, geopolitics and the Arctic as a whole.
