Arctic affairs are becoming ever more geopolitically important. The impact of climate change, security issues and rivalries is growing, as is the need for cooperation and multilateral agreements. A safe, stable, sustainable, peaceful and prosperous Arctic is important not just for the Arctic itself, but also for the European Union and actually for the whole world.
