Content: After three years of pandemic, opening up seems to create opportunities for more international cooperation. At the same time, the world sees difficult challenges in terms of geopolitics, climate change, tensions, conflict and prospects of deglobalization. With Russia being cut off from the West in most areas of cooperation, Arctic development is facing significant challenges. This also has implications for the role China can play in the Arctic.
In this panel, we will discuss what is the role of China in the Arctic, and what are spaces of opportunities?
