Does significant physical change in the Arctic, represented by receding glaciers, rapidly changing ecosystems, and diminishing sea ice, translate into significantly new economic opportunities? Are Arctic economics hype or real? How is the United States preparing for a more commercially accessible and potentially economically viable Arctic? Our keynote speakers and subsequent panel will discuss the opportunities and limitations confronting economic, commercial, and infrastructure initiatives in this resource-rich and heightened risk environment.

This conversation is made possible by support from the Royal Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
