Most of the Arctic, like most of the world, is commonly owned. With ownership comes the obligation to manage our resources for the benefit of the total. To do that, we must understand the reality, the richness, and the responsibility of the North.

Giving's Impact

Register soon for the Arctic Transportation Infrastructure workshop, 3-6 December at the Icelandair Hotel Natura in Reykjavik, Iceland. The theme is “Response Capacity and Sustainable Development in the Arctic.”

The Arctic Council’s Sustainable Development Working Group approved a project during the Swedish Chairmanship (co-led by the United States and Iceland) to assess transportation infrastructure. The Arctic Marine and Aviation Transportation Infrastructure Initiative (AMATII) seeks to evaluate Northern infrastructure – ports, airports, and response capability – by inventorying maritime and aviation assets in the Arctic.
