New Data and Increased Concern for the Arctic Carbon Sink ๐ŸŒฑ

Previously, The Arctic Century elaborated on the topic of the Arctic losing its role as the world's carbon sink and instead becoming a source of COโ‚‚. Among the most crucial factors we highlighted were the changing dynamics of the ocean and the increased activity of carbon-releasing microbes in the tundra and seas.

The most recent research suggests that the role of the Arctic as a contributor of COโ‚‚ is growing, effectively decreasing the region's capabilities as a carbon sink.

Russian companies seem to react promptly and adapt to the changing market conditions. Such is the case with Novatek's previously postponed project, Murmansk LNG.

NATO Expansion in the Arctic and Security Challenges for Russia ๐ŸŒ

The accession of Sweden and Finland to NATO became a turning point marked the fragmentation of the Arctic into two camps: Russia versus NATO. This change will decisively impact on Arctic politics including issues of security and international cooperation. NATO's expansion at the expense of previously neutral Sweden and Finland had nothing to do with security issues in the Arctic. All regional disputes were resolved in accordance with international law. In the West, the decision to expand NATO was explained as a response to Russia's special military operation in Ukraine, which began in 2022. Although the roots of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict had no ties with the Arctic, Russia was accused of intending to use force in the Arctic in the future.
