PROSPERITY • COMMUNITY • SECURITY

 

Arctic on the World Stage
Placed squarely on the global geopolitical stage, Arctic politics is definitively part of world politics and no longer apart from it. While the shift has created renewed challenges for the region it is also forging new paths of political, economic, community, and security cooperation.

Arctic Geopolitics
In the face of great geopolitical uncertainty, the Arctic is experiencing efforts towards greater North American Arctic cooperation, Nordic-North American Arctic cooperation, and interest for enhanced Arctic cooperation among allies outside the Arctic region.

Smart, Connected, Public-Private-Indigenous Infrastructure
The opportunities for a prosperous and sustainable region are abundant. Public-Private-Indigenous owned and operated green, connected, smart, and climate resilient trade and supply chains North of 60 will support Northern economic growth and well-being in Northern regions domestically, connect the Arctic, and the Arctic to global markets.

Prosperity, Innovation and the Net Zero Economy
The proof of concept has arrived. We can and we are innovating out of the Arctic and with technologies that have the potential for global scale. From the emergence of new technologies for the critical minerals economy to the innovations in supply chain logistics the Arctic is becoming a global bell weather for innovations to come.

Securing Canada’s North
For Canada, its North is a microcosm of the ascending role of the Arctic region in global affairs. Canada’s North is no longer apart from rest of Canada but central to Canada’s well-being, potential economic prosperity, and domestic security. It is also the key to Canada’s leadership within the Arctic neighbourhood and on the world stage.
