The core goal of the international meeting was to discuss the dynamics, new trends and future framework for socio-economic and sustainable development of the Arctic and the North-Pacific under the global transformations and multiple Arctic Change. The vision for exploring the prospects and opportunities for international cooperation between the countries of the region, including the role of non-Arctic states was discussed. The Russian experts contributed with papers and presentations on national policies and strategies, prospects on energy developments, new challenges for services-infrastructure and transportation in the Arctic, and the specific context of its sustainability priorities.
