Arctic and Antarctic governance - David Monsma, Executive Director, Energy and Environmental Program, Aspen Institute, and Dr. Robert Corell, Vice President of Programs, H. John Heinz Center for Science, Economics and the Environment, will discuss the results of the December 3rd Workshop on “Arctic Governance: Drawing Lessons from the Antarctic” convened as part of the 50th Anniversary of the Antarctic Treaty Summit held at the Smithsonian in Washington DC. The results from this workshop include: (1) general insights from the Antarctic Treaty and its relevance to current Arctic governance; (2) the relevance of the Antarctic experience with regulatory measures of resources and human development in addressing Arctic issues; and, (3) what can be learned from the Antarctic experience in order to learn how to strengthen the science and policy interaction in the Arctic. Discussion will also include how the Aspen Institute’s Dialogue and Commission on the Arctic Climate Change and the international study entitled The Arctic Governance Project are addressing the challenges facing the Arctic.
