FIRST DAY DECEMBER 5, 2019

New horizons of state policy in the Arctic December 5, 2019

10:00 AM – 11:30 AM

PLENARY SESSION

The integrated development of the Arctic macroregion is one of the key areas of Russian state policy.

Over the past decade, the strategic foundations for the development of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation have been formulated. A coordinating government body - the State Commission for the Development of the Arctic - has been formed. Projects for the industrial development of natural resources have been launched and are being successfully implemented; transport and social infrastructure are developing. The Ministry of the Russian Federation for the Development of the Far East and the Arctic, that implements state development programs in the Arctic, has appeared.

The future of the Arctic zone of Russia depends on the effective implementation of the key tasks of state policy in the region:

- the formation of mechanisms to attract investment and support Arctic projects that take into account the needs of the Russian Arctic regions, systematic companies and contribute to the development of macroregion infrastructure;

- integrated development of the Northern Sea Route as a national transport highway, provided with an appropriate cargo base;

- improving living standards and creating comfortable conditions for living in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation through effective social policies and implementation of national projects.

- For the practical implementation of these tasks it is necessary to develop a broad dialogue and directed interaction between all levels and segments of state power and society.

ISSUES FOR DISCUSSION:

State policy in the Arctic and improvement of the regulatory framework

Creating good conditions for investing and doing business in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation

Implementation of national projects in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation

Mechanisms for improving the quality of life in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation

Conference «Northern Sea Route»

The Northern Sea Route is the most important transport communication in the Russian Arctic and the shortest sea route from Europe to Asia. The President and the Government set ambitious goals determined the future of the NSR for years to come. The President’s Decree “On National Goals and Strategic Tasks of the development of the Russian Federation for the period until 2024” implies an increase in the NSR cargo flow to 80 million tons.

In accordance with the Presidential Decree, the Northern Sea Route federal project was included in the Comprehensive Plan for the Modernization and Expansion of the Main Infrastructure. Rosatom State Corporation received the status of a single operator and now they are developing a project for the development of the infrastructure of the Northern Sea Route. The Ministry of Natural Resources of Russia has developed a comprehensive plan representing the mineral resources and logistics potential of the Arctic.

Nevertheless, a whole series of key issues is on the agenda. How exactly the tasks set by the President are being accomplished, how the interests of the federal government, regions, the needs of the business community represented by industrial, mining and transport companies will be taken into account and how effective cooperation will be built between interested parties?

The most important issue for the development of cargo transportation via the NSR is to ensure the safety of navigation in extreme Arctic conditions: the development of a global marine communications system, emergency and navigational and hydro-graphic support, and the provision of icebreaker assistance.

Indigenous peoples of the Arctic December 5, 2019 4:00 PM – 6:00 PM

WORKING SESSION

The situation of the small peoples of the North in recent decades is complicated by the inappropriateness of their traditional way of life to modern economic conditions. In conditions of vigorous industrial activity, the original habitat of the indigenous peoples of the North is exposed to negative influences, which leads to a crisis in traditional industries and an aggravation of social problems.

The vulnerability of the traditional way of life and the small number of each of the peoples of the North led to the need for the formation of a special state policy related to their sustainable development, which provided for systemic measures to preserve the original culture, language, crafts and native habitat.

ISSUES FOR DISCUSSION:

Improving the legislation of the Russian Federation on the rights of indigenous peoples of the North

Preservation and development of a traditional lifestyle

Preservation of the original habitat of the indigenous peoples of the Arctic in the conditions of industrial development of territories

Transport mobility in the Arctic: development of land and inland water transport in the Arctic

December 6, 2019 12:30 PM – 2:00 PM

WORKING SESSION

The development of the transport and logistics potential of the Arctic is one of the key tasks for ensuring the economic growth of territories, therefore, ensuring the free movement of population and goods is the most important task of the state. Only modern roads and railways, developed inland waterways will allow us not to depend on the Northern Sea Route and, at the same time, will provide the opportunity to deliver manufactured goods and minerals to the Arctic ports or to the "Mainland". These tasks are reflected in the Comprehensive Plan for the Modernization and Expansion of the Backbone Infrastructure. But without attracting private investment and applying public-private partnerships, they cannot be resolved.

In addition, arctic conditions impose special conditions on equipment that must be able to operate at extremely low temperatures.

ISSUES FOR DISCUSSION:

How to connect the Arctic territories with seaports?

How to synchronize the development of infrastructure with the directions of freight flows?

What railway infrastructure is needed for the Russian Arctic?

By order of the State Atomic Energy Corporation ROSATOM, universal powerful atomic icebreakers are being built, two of them have already been launched, and a new shipbuilding center is being created in the Far East. Understanding the need for state support of shipbuilding is represented in the state program "Shipbuilding Development for 2013-2030." Therefore, currently, it is fundamentally correct to determine which fleet is necessary for the implementation of Arctic projects with the participation of representatives of authorities and the industry. In addition to the creation of icebreakers and tankers, there is a need to update the fishing fleet and to build technical and rescue vessels.

ISSUES FOR DISCUSSION:

What measures is the government taking to support shipbuilding?

What icebreakers and tankers are needed to support Arctic projects?

Development of shipbuilding and ship repair in the Arctic regions

Building of the fishing fleet

Prospects for the use of LNG for shipping in the Arctic

Sources of Efficiency: Integrated Arctic energy system development

December 6, 2019 2:30 PM – 4:00 PM

PANEL SESSION

The energy system plays a special role in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation. Sufficient and uninterrupted energy supplies are necessary for the integrated socio-economic development of the macro-region in extreme climatic conditions. The focal nature of the development of the Arctic territories requires different, distributed energy system architecture. The high cost of delivering fuel to the Arctic zone forces us to switch to alternative energy sources. New technologies and digitalization make it possible to ensure efficient operation of the power system.

Building an ecosystem of small and medium enterprises in the Arctic

December 6, 2019 4:30 PM – 6:00 PM

WORKING SESSION

The success of the development of Arctic projects is largely dependent on technological progress. The cornerstones of technological development are scientific and technological developments and product quality standards. In the framework of the state policy in the field of science and technology, projects, thematically related to the development of materials and technologies for the Arctic, are actively financed.

While developing projects in the Arctic, the unification of technologies and ensuring the accuracy of measurements requires attention, because special characteristics are needed for durability, low temperatures, and equipment safety.

The first step in this work will be the development and implementation of unique “Arctic GOSTs”, as well as creation in the Arctic regions of polygons for testing new types of equipment and technologies for working in the Arctic.

About the Development Strategy of Arctic Zone of Russian Federation for the period until 2035 in the field of health-saving and improving the quality of life of the population

December 6, 2019 4:30 PM – 6:00 PM

PANEL SESSION

A meeting of the public commission of the Association of Polar Explorers in the area of Arctic Medicine will be held within the Section

The socio-economic development of the Arctic and the pace of its development largely depend on the quality of life of both the indigenous population and the visitor who needs acclimatization and adaptation. Northerners, in particular indigenous peoples, have lower life expectancy, higher incidence rates, including prevalent non-communicable diseases.

The specifics of healthcare in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation are determined by the harsh climate, difficult transport accessibility and low population density - under such conditions, traditional models for organizing medical care are not effective enough, it is necessary to develop and implement new approaches that fully take into account the specifics of the northern regions.

ISSUES FOR DISCUSSION:

State programmes of the subjects of the Russian Federation on the development of Arctic medicine

Modernization of existing healthcare institutions and optimization of their network

Actual problems of protecting the health of children and adolescents living in the Russian Arctic

The development of telemedicine and mobile healthcare in the Arctic

Global issues of climate change in the Arctic: prospects for international cooperation

December 6, 2019 4:30 PM – 6:00 PM

WORKING SESSION

Large-scale climate change in the Arctic calls into question the effectiveness of long-term development strategies of the macro region that do not take into account climatic factors. For the world community, the climate crisis has become one of the key issues of international cooperation - at the 21st session of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention, the Paris Agreement was adopted and aimed at strengthening global measures to combat climate change. The UN Climate Summit was held in September 2019, which was evidence of the growing recognition of the need to immediately accelerate the pace of action to combat climate change.

The role in the Arctic under these conditions is important due to a number of factors: firstly, the Arctic has a great influence on the global climate; secondly, the solution of any Arctic problems is possible only in conditions of close interstate cooperation; thirdly, the Arctic is particularly susceptible to climatic changes that lead to the destruction of ecosystems, global changes in the living conditions of the population.

ISSUES FOR DISCUSSION:

Observed and expected climate changes: possible damages and benefits for the Arctic

Opportunities for international cooperation to study climate change and make recommendations for the Arctic states in order to stimulate the reduction of anthropogenic impacts on climate

The impact of Arctic climate change on human activities in the region

Adaptation of the countries of the circumpolar region to climate change

Public sentiment and the attitude of business circles towards climate change: the role of public institutions and the scientific community, educational work
