Melting sea ice, new shipping routes and growing geopolitical tensions are changing the Arctic – a region where the consequences of climate change are particularly evident. Arne Riedel, Senior Fellow at Ecologic Institute, spoke about the ecological, political and security developments in this sensitive region of the world in an interview with Axel Dorloff (rbb Inforadio / Wissenswerte).

Ecologic Institute's task is to analyse the governance frameworks that influence Arctic ecosystems and to identify where adaptive management strategies could strengthen resilience. For this purpose, Ecologic Institute brings together the research results of YESSS that are relevant for governance, and investigates local, regional, and international legal and policy frameworks, including those shaped by the Svalbard Treaty and the UN Convention on Biological Diversity.
