As the impacts of climate change are unfolding in an accelerated way, several analysts and media often depict the Arctic as the frame of deep tensions stemming from rivalry over shipping lanes, extended continental shelves and natural resources.

In fact, if there are diverging views over some issues between Arctic States, these differences are minor. Arctic States do intend to engage in cooperation and strategic stakes fuel fuel conflict between them.
