Inflection Points: Security, Conservation, and Adaptation in the Arctic
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 business, governance, 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.
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.
This year’s virtual event, Inflection Points: Security, Conservation, and Adaptation in the Arctic, reflects the diverse set of challenges and opportunities confronting an ever-changing region of critical importance. Featuring panel discussions, breakout groups, and a new simulation exercise, this edition will be as timely and engaging as ever! The keynote address will be delivered by Admiral Karl Shultz, Commandant, United States Coast Guard.
