The uncertainty in Arctic governance that resulted from Russia's invasio n of Ukraine has extended beyond geopolitical effects in the region. Sustai ned cooperation amongst the Arctic states, except for Russia, has been key to sustain scientific research after the loss of a large geographic partner . Cooperation on the ocean and climate issues in the Arctic will continue t o be essential moving forward. What does the future hold for efforts to und erstand and steward the Arctic Ocean?
Join the Wilson Center's Polar Institute and the Centre for the Ocean and the Arctic (Norway) for a discus sion about research and ocean-related cooperation in the context of current geopolitical tension.
