Both deposits will become increasingly accessible thanks to global warming. In addition, such global warming will also lead to fish migrating North, making the Arctic an attractive fishing ground. This breakout session will try to assess the likely dynamics of Arctic resources becoming more accessible as the combined result of the following:

1. Global warming
2. Global demand for such resources
3. Costs of their commercial exploitation
4. Political conditions allowing for this to happen
