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.

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:

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.

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
