Abstract

This publication, "Science, Technology and the Path Forward for a New Arctic", is a compilation of papers that served as background to the North Pacific Arctic Conference's virtual sessions in 2021, which focused on the role of science and technology in the contemporary Arctic. The first decade of the NPAC had focused on the transformation of the Arctic into a region of increasing centrality due to climate change and new technologies. However, the second decade of NPAC would expand on this theme by examining the Arctic's role as a critical region of rapid geophysical change with potentially devastating impacts on the planet. The document includes papers on Arctic science, technology, policy, governance, and the blue economy. It also features short summaries of highlights from the conference sessions, introduced according to the "Chatham House Rule" promising confidentiality to promote exploration and frankness.

The five sessions covered in this document are as follows: The Policy Environment for Arctic Cooperation, North Pacific Perspectives on Arctic Science and International Cooperation, Integrating Science and Policy to Adapt to Climate Change Impacts, Will New Frontiers in Arctic Marine Technology Support a Blue Economy? and Technological Dimensions of Arctic Governance.
