SDWG Report to Ministers on Arctic EnergyClick Here For a Copy of the Report
The Arctic Council Ministers requested in their Salekhard Declaration (2006) that the SDWG report on energy cooperation and activities in the Arctic and identify activities that the Arctic Council could consider for future implementation. By its nature, the subject of energy in the context of the Arctic has many facets and embraces a wide range of complex technical and political issues. These issues have been the subject of considerable research and cooperative activity within the Council. The Arctic Council has more than a decade of experience bringing together a broad network of scientists, policy makers, indigenous peoples’ organizations, and other Arctic residents and stakeholders to expand the knowledge base in respect of the Arctic and to cooperate on issues of common interest. Therefore, this report is not intended as a comprehensive assessment of Arctic energy resources, nor of the impacts of Arctic energy development on the natural and human environments in the circumpolar region. Rather, it is on an overview of the broad subject of Arctic energy which identifies some emerging Arctic energy issues; references completed Arctic Council projects and activities relating to energy; provides some background information on emerging energy sectors in an Arctic context; and identifies some possible areas for cooperation in the field of Arctic energy.
