The Arctic region is an area of concern for the United States, where actions are overseen by the Office of Ocean and Polar Affairs, which is part of the US Department of State. Under international law, the territory doesn\u2019t belong to any one nation.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ice melt, increased human activities, and wildlife are all topics for consideration in the region. We\u2019ll explore who is responsible for protecting the region, what issues it faces, and what solutions could be found.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Arctic Council<\/h2>\n

The Arctic Council is an intergovernmental forum that addresses any issues in the Arctic Region. It was created in 1996. Its members are all of the eight Arctic States, which means any nation with a coastline next to the Arctic. They are the US, due to Alaska\u2019s coast, Canada, Norway, Iceland, Denmark, due to Greenland\u2019s coast, Finland, Sweden, and Russia.<\/span><\/p>\n

Topics under consideration include environmental protection and sustainable development. The chair of the forum rotates between the members. Work is carried out by appointed officials. Several agreements have been signed in the history of the Arctic Council concerning search and rescue operations, marine environment care, and oil pollution prevention.<\/span><\/p>\n

Indigenous Peoples<\/h2>\n

Indigenous peoples\u2019 organizations participate in the Arctic Council. They have consultation rights for any decisions and negotiations made by the eight Arctic States. While changes in the region affect all of us, involving the people indigenous to the region is important to take local knowledge into account and respect them. Part of the council\u2019s responsibility is to improve the lives of the people that live there.<\/span><\/p>\n
