Experts from CIGI’s International Law Research Program are pleased to attend The Third International Transatlantic Maritime Emissions Research Network conference. The event will focus on governance in the Arctic by examining institutions, actors and interactions in emerging issues in Arctic ocean governance, such as conservation of marine living resources, the use of the marine Arctic for extractive industries, climate change impacts, and maritime transport issues.
The conference aims to gather a network of academics and policy experts working on Arctic governance to address the following questions:
- What are the different institutional approaches to Arctic environmental governance at the international, regional and national level? How do they interact?
- What is the role of non-state actors and indigenous communities in Arctic environmental and climate change governance?
- What efforts can foster the coordination of the conservation and sustainable use of living and non-living resources in the Arctic?
- How does climate change impact governance challenges, and what has been done to support adaptation/mitigation?
The conference will include papers presented by invited participants including CIGI senior fellows Aldo Chircop and Meinhard Doelle. Sessions will be moderated by Silvia Maciunas, Oonagh Fitzgerald and Freedom-Kai Phillips.
