| Summary: | It is extremely important to understand which role Arctic fossil fuel resources will play in the development and geopolitics of the Arctic region. The article analyses the recent trends in the world energy supply with speci al focus on renewable energy and future demand for fossil fuels.

Such an outcome would strongly influence the sustainable development and geopolitics of the region. |
