Even as the international system faces growing instability, the Arctic remains a space where cooperation continues to hold strategic and environmental importance. In part three of our Future of the Arctic Council podcast series, recorded live at this year’s Arctic Frontiers conference, Dr. Volker Rachold, Head of the German Arctic Office at the Alfred Wegener Institute, Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research, and Dr. Elana Wilson Rowe, Research Professor and Head of the Center for Ocean Governance at the Norwegian Institute of International Affairs (NUPI), explore how Arctic cooperation fits into the broader global governance landscape. In a session organized by the Fridtjof Nansen Institute, Polar Geopolitics podcast - Arctic and Antarctic analysis, and Arctic Frontiers, Rachold and Wilson Rowe discuss the Arctic Council’s vital role in addressing environmental challenges, the growing influence of observer states, and the unique ways scientific collaboration has anchored these countries in Arctic affairs. This is the third and final episode in our podcast series on the future of the Arctic Council, recorded live at Arctic Frontiers in Tromsø, Norway, on January 27, 2025. 🔈Listen on Spotify: https://lnkd.in/dRXBFmyZ 🔈Listen on Apple: https://lnkd.in/d4JPUm_y 📺 Watch on YouTube: https://lnkd.in/dVWTWR7M
