 ="text-align: justify;">"Major economies aim to be carbon neutral by 2050. 
 Such an ambition implies an almost full transition away from using fossil f
 uels to power the transport sector, including maritime transport. How will 
 the maritime Arctic be influenced by global responses to climate change? Th
 e webinar addresses maritime transport in the Arctic and will provide insig
 hts into a complex set of issues: the Arctic's policy framework for marine 
 safety and environmental protection; indigenous and conservation perspectiv
 es; green ship technology; marine infrastructure; and what measures are nee
 ded to make Arctic marine operations and shipping more sustainable."</p><p
