3.2.3
Vorschläge für
Kanadas Arktispolitik
Ottawa, September 2012. Seit der Gründung des Arctic Council 1996 hatten alle acht Mitgliedsstaaten den Vorsitz inne. Nun ist Kanada, das 1997 bis 1999 als erstes Land den Vorsitz führte, wieder an der Reihe und wird von 2013 bis 2015 das Gremium führen. Wenn der Arktische Rat nicht existieren würde, dann müsste man ihn angesichts der Veränderungen in der Arktis jetzt schaffen, schreibt Michael Byers in seinem Report "Circumpolar Challenges" für das Rideau Institut in Ottawa. Das Munk-Gordon Arctic Security Program hat ebenfalls Vorschläge für Kanadas Vorsitz vorgelegt.
