Summary / Abstract (Note) | The Arctic Council is a high-level, mainly intergovernmental forum for cooperation, coordination, and interaction among Arctic states,1 indigenous groups, and interested parties of two issue areas, sustainable development in the Arctic and the protection and study of the fragile Arctic ecosystem. The council is poorly understood and little advertised. And while it cannot enact binding legislation (except among the member states) or discuss issues of military security, these supposed "weaknesses" have actually helped to forge consensus in other important issue areas. |
