The Arctic Century closely follows Arctic development news and provides analysis to assess Arctic economic impact and the results of human activities in the North.
Arctic development has a significant impact on the environment and the natural balance of the region. From that standpoint, the economic activities led by companies in the Arctic affect the traditional way of life of the indigenous peoples, as well as the flora and fauna of the region. The fragile environment of the area reacts swiftly to any global changes.
The Arctic economy is closely tied to the mining of natural resources and therefore requires thorough consideration of the possible aftermath. There are many historical examples of economic development in the Arctic that have led to environmental tragedies.
While some events are difficult to follow, The Arctic Century strives to analyse the major aspects of Arctic development news, examining current issues and problems arising in the region. The results of this work are then presented in the Arctic News, Opinions and Articles, which feature long-read investigative articles on various Arctic issues.
The North's development requires a joint effort in improving technologies, leading research, and fostering overall cooperation in the Arctic. Arctic economic development heavily depends on technological progress and is closely linked to innovations that can be applied in this region. The Arctic economy, in its current state, is built around the ideas of rational resource use, close cooperation with indigenous peoples, and international collaboration; however, unfortunately, this is not always the case.
All of these aspects of Arctic development and Arctic economic impact can be found on the Arctic Century website. Read also the article: Arctic Events — News Arctic Century — ACentury.
