The Arctic region is going through a serious transformation as it faces the disruptive challenges of climate change and shifting global political, social and economic patterns. The harsh environmental conditions of the Arctic have long constrained economic activity in the region. The climate crisis, while having a negative impact on the region in some senses, opens up new prospects for development in others. The Arctic has become a geopolitical hot spot where global and regional players seek to increase their influence. Demographic shifts, transformative urbanisation and sustainable indigenous communities are at the core of regional social development.

Understanding the driving forces that will influence the business and political landscape of the Arctic in the coming decades is crucial for policymakers and businesses in order to come up with mutually beneficial approaches for exploiting opportunities without harming the unique Arctic natural and social ecosystem.
