EU opens consultation on the future of the Arctic

Inicio » EU News » Institutional Affairs » International Politics and Cooperation » EU opens consultation on the future of the Arctic

22 de July de 2020

The European Commission and the European External Action Service jointly launched a public consultation on the way forward for the European Union’s Arctic policy. The consultation will enable a broad reflection on the EU’s Arctic policy in the face of new challenges and opportunities, including the EU’s ambitions under the European Green Deal. The consultation seeks input on the strengths and shortfalls of the existing policy, with a view to possibly preparing an updated approach.

Consultation objetives

  • re-examine the role of the EU in Arctic affairs;
  • revise the three priorities of the current Joint Communication on An integrated European Union policy for the Arctic, and the actions thereunder; and
  • identify possible new policy areas to be developed.

Fighting climate change and its impacts and protecting the environment are key objectives for the region. Promoting sustainable development in the Arctic to the benefit of those who live there, including indigenous peoples is another priority for the EU. To that end, continuously improving our knowledge of the changes happening in the Arctic region, as well as identifying sustainable responses, is essential. Science, innovation and strong support for multilateral cooperation underpin the EU’s approach to the Arctic.

Background

The EU’s Arctic policy has been updated regularly since it was first outlined in 2008. The EU’s current Arctic policy is set out in a Joint Communication from 2016. In December 2019, the Council has invited the Commission and the High Representative to continue implementation, whilst initiating a process in order to update the EU Arctic Policy. The current policy centres around three priorities: climate change and safeguarding the Arctic environment; sustainable development in and around the Arctic; and international cooperation on Arctic issues. The public consultation launched is open until 6 November 2020.
