Ice and the Northern Sea Route – relentless progress?

o 2010 – less ice = 4 transitso 2011 - less ice = 26 transitso 2012 – less ice = 46 transitso 2013 – 30% more ice = 71 transits

BUT 2012 – 1.25m tonnes c.f. Suez 740 m tonnes !!! Suez capacity 76 vessels per 24 hours!!!

BUTChinese forecast May 2014 Nordic Meeting – o NSR to equal total current world container traffic by 2030 !!!o Total world traffic to triple by 2030 !!!

Hard Minerals

• Greenlando Dec 2010 Greenland approves rare earth oxides

exploitation at Kvanefjeldo Kvanefjeld can provide 25% of world demando now 2nd field at Kringlerne o Iron Ore and Uranium also shortly

• Finland, Sweden and Norwayo rich in various minerals o major European gold mine now at Kittila 2008

• Large infrastructure choices to be made

Fisheries Prospects

• One third of fish caught in the Arctic sold in European Market.• figure to increase as fish stocks move north • Arctic fishing voyages: 30 in 2005: 221 in 2010

Research suggests:• Incoming and native species can co-exist• Polar Cod may prosper

The Challenge

o To Keep Programme Relevant

How to monitor and anticipate inevitable changes in time to react ?

How to complement - not to collide with - other Northern programmes which each face the same foresight and coordination challenges ?

Page 27: The Cool North – getting warmer and busier

Opportunities for High North Collaboration

• Addressing accessibility challenges and opportunities– Know-how on supporting small and remote communities– Public service provision for remote communities – Responses to changing sea routes

• Economic diversification– Cooperation in research, innovation and education on fisheries (and other key sectors)– Adaptation of key sectors to the effects of climate change– Sustainable development in small communities– Development of craft and creative industries– Development of key growth sectors, such as renewable energy and (on a smaller-scale

cruise tourism)• Innovation and technology

– R&D in key sectors – Maximising the value-added of resource based sectors– Education and training – Marketing and applying new technologies

• Climate change and environmental protection – Adaptations and responses in remote and rural communities – Knowledge exchange

A Cool North Programmes Mechanism ?

• Multi - nodal and inclusive

• Collaboration and foresight NOT• Coordination and oversight
