UK Defence Arctic Strategy

• We have been working with UK defence officials, the House of Commons Defence Committee and the All-Party Parliamentary Group for the Polar Regions since 2018, supporting the development of the UK Defence Arctic Strategy. 

Guiding NATO’s position

• In 2019, we participated in four workshops that helped guide the development of the organisation’s Strategic Foresight Analysis 2021.
• The Alliance continues to draw on our expertise to help guide its work in the region.
• Work is ongoing - recently published article, NATO and the Arctic: The Need for a New Approach, examines NATO’s traditionally cautious approach and the need for a new strategy.

New perspectives for Estonia

• The Estonian government called upon our expertise to guide discussions and approaches to policy in the Arctic.

Contributing to the wider discussion

• Our insights feature in policy-oriented publications including The RUSI Journal, The Wilson Centre's Polar Points blog, and the Arctic Yearbook – an important open access collection of current policy thinking on Arctic affairs.
