WWF commissioned these three reports to examine the current governance regime, identify governance and regulatory gaps and analyze options for improvements. The reports, which are authored by international legal experts Timo Koivurova and Erik J. Molenaar, conclude that one of the best options is to adopt a new multilateral agreement. WWF's goal is to work with arctic states and arctic Indigenous peoples to promote the closure of the 'governance gaps', protection and preservation of the Arctic Ocean and sustainable ecosystem-based management of its resources.
