A Hot Arctic – Join the Discussion (held in Finnish) at Think Corner on March 10th!

Translated with a help of AI.

What kind of region is the Arctic, and how is climate change transforming its conditions and significance? What is the balance of power in the region, and is it changing? Is there room for cooperation in a time of rising tensions? These questions will be discussed at Think Corner on Tuesday, March 10th, from 5 PM to 6:30 PM.

Global attention turned north when the United States expressed its interest in Greenland. The geopolitical importance of the Arctic has been growing for some time: it is warming faster than the rest of the world, and new sea routes and natural resources emerging from beneath the melting ice are attracting major powers. Russia has invested in the Arctic since the early 2000s, and China is also seeking a strong position there.

The discussion features Research Professor Sanna Kopra and Professor Veli-Pekka Tynkkynen. The programme also includes an interview with University Researcher Nina Sarnela. The discussion will be moderated by MTV News foreign correspondent Janne Hopsu.
