Security and Governance in a Changing Arctic: A Norwegian Perspective

A Conversation with Norwegian Deputy Foreign Minister Audun Halvorsen

Tuesday, October 22, 2019 10:00 am - 11:00 am
CSIS Headquarters, 1st Floor

Please join us at CSIS for a conversation with Norwegian Deputy Foreign Minister Audun Halvorsen on Norway’s Arctic security strategy. For Arctic littoral states such as Norway, changing dynamics in the Arctic as a result of climate change and increased commercial activity will bring new challenges in the future. Deputy Foreign Minister Halvorsen will offer his perspectives on the effects of a shifting geopolitical climate on the Arctic and the implications for Norwegian foreign and security policy, for NATO efforts to enhance deterrence and defense in the High North and North Atlantic, and for Arctic governance. Mr. Halvorsen previously served as a Political Advisor to the Minister of Defense and a Political Advisor to the Conservative Party Parliamentary Group.

This event is made possible through general support to CSIS.
