The Arctic is rapidly emerging as a geopolitical hotspot as climate change melts sea ice and permafrost, opening access to energy resources and new shipping routes.
In response, the European Union has unveiled a new Arctic strategy aimed at strengthening security, deepening cooperation with regional partners and addressing environmental challenges.
