DESCRIPTION:Climate change in the Arctic is occurring more rapidly tha
 n in any other region in the world. Recent years have seen sea ice ret
 reat at a pace significantly exceeding scientific expectations. Increa
 sed access to newly opened waters is also opening the way for new econ
 omic opportunities and bringing new challenges. There is a clear need 
 for regional and international co-operation to develop an effective go
 vernance framework for the marine Arctic. The conference builds on a 1
 5-month transatlantic dialogue involving more than 50 Arctic experts. 
 The experts collaborated to develop policy options for protecting frag
 ile ecosystems\, safeguarding the rights and interests of indigenous p
 eoples and promote the sustainable use of resources in marine areas.
