Background
The Navy’s Maritime Strategy addresses the opening Arctic and the potential challenges and opportunities it presents
“ Climate change is gradually opening up the waters of the Arctic, not only to new resource development, but also to new shipping routes that may reshape the global transportation system. While these opportunities offer potential for growth, they are potential sources of competition for access and natural resources.”
