IMEMO took part in the 2018 North Pacific Arctic Conference “ Arctic 2030 and Beyond – Pathways for the Future ” organized by the East-West Center, USA and the Korean Maritime Institute (KMI) and held in Honolulu 15-17 August 2018. The core goal of the international meeting was to discuss the dynamics, new trends and future framework for socio-economic and sustainable development of the Arctic and the North-Pacific under the global transformations and multiple Arctic Change. The vision for exploring the prospects and opportunities for international cooperation between the countries of the region, including the role of non-Arctic states was discussed. The Russian experts contributed with papers and presentations on national policies and strategies, prospects on energy developments, new challenges for services-infrastructure and transportation in the Arctic, and the specific context of its sustainability priorities. The dialogue between the stakeholders from Russia, Canada, USA, Japan, Korea and China on avenues for international cooperation including the prospects of the international CAO fisheries agreement, the Yamal-LNG project and transportatation along the Northern Sea Route was underway. The monograph based on results of presentation and conference discussion would be published in 2019.
