Navigating the New Arctic: Navigating Convergent Pressures on Arctic Development
Few transformations are as dramatic or as complex as those occurring now in the Arctic.
Alongside amplified climate change, changes in global markets, regional geopolitics, and community aspirations are motivating visions of new opportunities to develop natural resources and infrastructure in the region.
How might communities, governments, and industries navigate these disparate and converging pressures?

CPAD is a diverse group of academic and practitioners, economists and climate scientists, geographers and policy analysts. We are guided by an International Reference Group (IRG) of independent experts to advise and review our research findings.
How will converging geophysical and socioeconomic pressures shape Arctic development between now and 2050?
We are a multi-disciplinary research consortium, aiming to answer this question though the convergence of natural and social sciences.
