Since 2012, the annual Arctic Conference at The Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy has provided a platform for policymakers, business leaders, academics and students to address the implications of a volatile Arctic. This conference brings together high-level leaders working in governance, consulting, human rights, international law, and science from around the world to share insights, research, and engage in conversations on the pressing issues of a multi-disciplinary nature in the Arctic region. This year the conference will focus on Sustainability in the Arctic.
The Arctic is a critical region of global collaboration in the realms of governance, environmental stewardship, indigenous rights, and economic opportunities. At the Fletcher School of Global Affairs, we pride ourselves on fostering interdisciplinary insights illuminating the region’s complexities. From examining contemporary energy and maritime security considerations to underscoring the importance of cooperation and recognizing the role of the indigenous population in the region, our students and faculty employ an interdisciplinary lens to understand the Arctic’s global significance.
The Fletcher Arctic Conference is a student-run initiative, with key contributions from senior Fletcher School faculty and leadership. We remain dedicated to inclusivity and high-quality dialogue by bringing together diverse speakers both in education and background. We look forward to contributing to the conversation and illuminating the multitude of perspectives surrounding the future of a rapidly changing Arctic.
