Concurrent Session 1 Pollution in the Arctic: Oil and gas extraction on the continental shelf as a major contributor
The pollution in the Arctic region is partly generated by offshore hydrocarbon projects. The core of the problem is gas flaring which is responsible for rising black carbon emissions in the region. We examined oil spills and other accidents leading to the release of pollutants. The history of the pr...

The pollution in the Arctic region is partly generated by offshore hydrocarbon projects. The core of the problem is gas flaring which is responsible for rising black carbon emissions in the region.

The main consequences with a primer focus on biodiversity and indigenous peoples were analyzed.
