Dartmouth / Wilson Center Webinar: New Opportunities for Arctic Science, Policy, and Diplomacy in the Biden Administration

With climate as a central organizing principle of the new Biden Administration’s global approach, US-Arctic science, policy, and diplomacy are expected to take on increasing importance. As the poles warm, complex and intersecting issues of climate change, natural resource development, Arctic Ocean governance, Arctic Council cooperation, Indigenous Peoples’ rights, and US-Russia security become central to US-global interests. This panel of experts will discuss the many opportunities and challenges facing the Biden administration as it formulates a new US-Arctic strategy that highlights Alaska and our global responsibilities as an Arctic nation. Panelists include Ambassador (ret.) Mark Brzezinski ’87, Dr. Melody B. Burkins GRAD ’98 and Dr. Mike Sfraga. Moderated by Dartmouth Prof. Dr. Ross A. Virginia.
