This year’s Arctic Frontiers Conference will be held in Tromso, Norway from January 20-25, 2013. Arctic Frontiers remains the most influential pan-arctic conference for leading experts, academics, scientists, and lay individuals. Having worked for several years at the forefront of Canada’s Arctic strategy and Northern issues, Arctic Frontiers is an ideal forum for the discussion, tough questions, and pertinent analysis needed to address one of our planets most dynamic and changing environments. The Arctic is our greatest litmus test and we must heed the advice of countless experts to protect its fragile state. Discussion of natural resource exploration and development in the Arctic, while needed for our own collective needs, must be conducted in a fashion that will respect the traditions and practices of the indigenous population of the Arctic circle and secure a sustainable future for the Arctic region as a whole.
