The Atlantic Council | Virtual Event

Description: The High North is undergoing an unprecedented period of transformation. Strategic insecurity spillover from Russia’s war against Ukraine, Chinese Arctic aspirations both in cooperation with Russia and individually, and the applications of two Arctic nations – Finland and Sweden – to join NATO will impact the region’s security. Moreover, a changing climate is impacting civil and military activity in the region, making cooperation even more important. How are these gamechangers affecting the Arctic region’s geopolitical context? What actions and strategies must High North and transatlantic stakeholders pursue to ensure lasting stability for the region? How can the NATO alliance elevate its role and contribution?

To advance discussion on these and other Arctic security issues, please join the Atlantic Council, in partnership with the Norwegian Ministry of Defense and Royal Norwegian Embassy, for their annual in-person conference – Looking North. This event will bring together government officials and experts voices to assess drivers of change in the Arctic and how the United States, Norway, and its allies and partners can collectively approach security in the region.

This event is open to the public and will be held in-person at the Royal Norwegian Embassy. The conference will not be livestreamed.  Registration is required, and all guests will need to bring a photo ID for check-in.
