Description
Summary:the arctic implies a planetary struggle to stop the rapid change of its ecosystem caused by global climate change, with the global impact it could generate in the future. as a consequence of this first ecological challenge, the arctic scenario is becoming more interesting for key transnational actors to develop new business opportunities related to mining exploitation, energy reserves and logistics services, where the result will tend to prioritize business and safety on the ecology, reaffirming the meta-tragedy in the arctic region. due to the complexity of the arctic scenario, the preference for intergovernmental forums and the ambiguous interests and roles of its actors, the inadequate trinomial between a global ecological tragedy, an individual economic business and a collective security career will tend to subsist and increase its tragic effects about the environment. El Ártico implica una lucha planetaria para detener el rápido cambio de su ecosistema causado por el cambio climático global, con el impacto global que podría generar en el futuro. como consecuencia de este primer desafío ecológico, el escenario del Ártico se está volviendo más interesante para los actores transnacionales clave para desarrollar nuevas oportunidades de negocios relacionadas con la explotación minera, las reservas de energía y los servicios logísticos, donde el resultado tenderá a priorizar los negocios y la seguridad sobre la ecología, reafirmando la metatragedia en la región del Ártico. debido a la complejidad del escenario ártico, la preferencia por foros intergubernamentales y los intereses y roles ambiguos de sus actores, el trinomio inadecuado entre una tragedia ecológica global, un negocio económico individual y una carrera de seguridad colectiva tenderán a subsistir e incrementar sus efectos trágicos sobre el medio ambiente.
