Description

The UK’s geographical position means we stand to benefit significantly from the opening-up of these new maritime trade routes. The UK and Faroe Islands signed a Memorandum of Understanding on space launches in April 2020, with work ongoing with the Greenlandic Government to agree handling of launch debris in the waters around Greenland. The UK is open to the world, with a global network of friends and partners, and with the opportunity to forge new and deeper relationships. The UK has strong relationships with almost all Arctic states and has a responsibility to support our partners and Allies to preserve the stability and security of the region; we have been operating there for many years. It should also acknowledge the region’s significance, within a 360-degree approach to our collective deterrence and defence, particularly its crucial importance in enabling reinforcement across the North Atlantic.

Digital connectivity through increased internet fibre cables and good broadband coverage already benefits developed parts of the Arctic. The UK has consistently been at the forefront of international regulatory developments that aim to protect the Ocean and we will continue to do so. This made clear that ‘the High North and maintaining security in the defence of the North Atlantic remains of great importance’.The new framework includes an ambitious package of global goals and targets, and a central mission to halt and reverse biodiversity loss by 2030. Three seasons of science cruises in the Barents and Greenland Seas have been completed, over 40 other science cruises with other international partners, as well as additional field work in other locations.

For the Arctic, this means that we will work internationally to advance prosperity and security in the region, and to understand and find solutions to global challenges like climate change. We also work together in relevant Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMOs) in relation to the regulation of fisheries in the high-seas.When visiting the Arctic, we want British nationals to be safe and to ensure that all international travellers and operators refrain from harming the Arctic environment. We will continue to strengthen our cooperation with Canada in the Arctic to contribute to achieving shared objectives, allowing the UK to learn from Canada’s expertise as an Arctic nation. To this end, Royal Navy ships recommenced activity in the Arctic in 2020, alongside Arctic Allies such as Denmark, Norway, and the US, including to protect the centrality and integrity of UNCLOS.

million metric tonnes of plastic enter the ocean annually, and science estimates that the annual plastic flow into the ocean will triple between 2016 and 2040. We recognise that the growing interest in the Arctic, together with the need for wide cooperation on Arctic issues, has led to the development of a number of Arctic conferences, including the Arctic Circle Assembly, Arctic Frontiers, and Arctic Futures to name but a few.

Local Arctic air pollution can be severe and significantly exceed air quality standards, impairing public health and affecting ecosystems.
