On behalf of the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) and the Centre for International Governance (CIGI), we invite you to join us for a high-level conference to take stock of the accomplishments achieved during the Canadian Arctic Council Chairmanship, such as the inauguration of the Arctic Economic Council, and to look forward to the major themes of the upcoming U.S. Chairmanship of the Arctic Council in 2015. The conference will engage senior officials and experts as they examine future challenges and opportunities for cooperation in the Arctic region, as well as the future of the Arctic Council in light of current geopolitical tensions with Russia.
