Klaus Dodds: The Fight for the Future of the Arctic

Sea ice is declining, wildfires are burning and permafrost is thawing. Nowhere is the dual threat of climate change and geopolitical contest felt more
strongly than the Arctic. Political scientist Klaus Dodds examines the state of the Arctic today showing how the region is turning into a space of experimentation for everything from Indigenous governance to subsea technology. The level of geopolitical competition is growing along with its
associated environmental disruption. Countries including the United States, China and Russia are investing in the Arctic and consolidating their interests in strategic access, resource exploitation and alliance building.
