Summary/Abstract |
It is unique for its climate and geography: for natural phenomena such as the midnight sun and the Northern Lights, as well as the creatures and the cultures which have evolved there. Throughout human history, it has been viewed with reverence as a special and mysterious place where unique rules apply. However, global warming has begun to reveal the secrets of the Arctic, lifting the shroud of ice, which has veiled the region for millennia, and opening it to ever-greater traffic.

Summary/Abstract |
The year 2011 was a turbulent one for the world. As the European sovereign debt crisis intensified, the world economic recovery lost steam. The volatility in West Asia and North Africa, with apparent international involvement, affected regional situation and geopolitical configuration. The Asia Pacific situation was in evolution and major countries increased their input in the region. The world moved further towards multipolarity. Deep-rooted problems accumulated in Western countries over the years broke out and "waves of wrath" swept across the globe. Evolution and adjustments in international and regional situation accelerated amid growing uncertainty and unpredictability.

The momentum of collective rise of major emerging countries has strengthened. Reform of the international financial system has made progress. Interactions of the international relations are more complex. Traditional and non-traditional security threats are intertwined. Contentions among different development models have intensified. Asia has seen its status rising in spite of more destabilizing factors.

Summary/Abstract |
In the following text, I will demonstrate three things. First, that humankind is losing the battle against human-induced climate change, the impacts of which are being particularly felt in the Arctic. Second, that the current negotiations are very unlikely to result in the international climate agreement we need to redress the situation. Third, that the way to redirect these negotiations in the right direction would be to introduce into these international discussions the negotiation of a global, harmonized price for the leading greenhouse gas: carbon dioxide (CO2).
