Of particular interest here is CAFF’s Circumpolar Protected Area Network (CPAN), which is designed to coordinate the protected area policies of the Arctic states in their Arctic regions.

All of the developments discussed are evaluated by first identifying the trajectories of protected area activities in the Arctic Council and then discussing the possible ways forward. One salient consideration here is whether normative platforms other than the Arctic Council are better equipped to promote the work on protected areas in the Arctic and what type of policy focus for protected areas could be assumed in the Council.
