With ever increasing human activity and rising geopolitical tensions, the interests of arctic nations and states converge in the Arctic Ocean.  What governance structures are in place to regulate activities in arctic waters? How can stakeholders establish efforts to dissipate tensions and ensure cooperation in the arctic?

Join Commonwealth North and the Polar Institute at The Wilson Center for a discussion about the future of Arctic Ocean governance, the Central Arctic Oceans Agreement, perspectives on international cooperation, Alaska's role in cooperative efforts, and international fisheries issues that impact Alaska.
