Value proposition

We envision a world where complex issues facing Arctic security are identified, understood, and innovatively resolved.

The Arctic Institute is an interdisciplinary, independent think tank focused on Arctic policy issues. We are a think tank for the 21st century - a network of young professionals who work from locations around the globe and who represent expertise in many different disciplines. Collaboration, creativity and independence are all critical to our success. We strive to provide the most nuanced, objective, clear and candid analysis possible. In general, we see the Arctic as a fast-evolving region characterized by international and inter-sectoral cooperation rather than a region in which Cold-War mentality and behavior still dominate.

The Institute is not directly affiliated with any governmental entity, corporation or civil-society organization. Our current staff includes specialists in Arctic climate science, geopolitics, law, oil & gas and media. In the recent past,our staff has been cited by or appeared in the Associated Press, The Wall Street Journal, New Scientist, The Guardian, The Economist, CNN, Radio National Australia, Rúv Icelandic TV, RT, the Huffington Post, European Voice, American Public Media, NPR, Alaska Dispatch, USA Today and many more.
