Dr Damian Szacawa participated at the Arctic Frontiers 2023: Moving North in Tromsø, Norway (January 30th- February 2nd, 2023).
During the conference, the topics of speeches and debates concerned current processes and challenges, including the consequences of Russia's invasion of Ukraine and climate change.
This subject is addressed in Dr Damian Szacawa's contribution, Russia's Invasion of Ukraine: long-term implications for the Arctic, "IEŚ Commentaries", No. 786 (34/2023), https://ies.lublin.pl/en/comments/russias-invasion-of-ukraine-long-term-implications-for-the-arctic/.
"Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has also brought a number of consequences for regions away from the conflict. One such area is the Arctic, which includes, among others, the northern part of the Nordic states. Within the Arctic Council (AC), political cooperation with Russia has been temporarily put on hold, while part of the work of the Council is expected to resume once Norway assumes the chairmanship in May 2023. Areas where pragmatic cooperation has been dominant, such as scientific research, are also suffering long-term consequences."
