A number of overarching thrusts frame this discussion. What interests are common to different sectors, regions, and stakeholders? Could interests and resources actually be effectively managed? If so, what practices, authorities, and policies should be involved? This panel builds on insights from previous Arctic Circle panels, aiming to tackle the changing conditions and paths for solutions. Experts from government, industry, academia, science, and NGOs will participate.
