EU policy for the Arctic
The European Union’s interest in the Arctic has increased. The EU is an important global actor in the fight against climate change. The EU supports international cooperation in the Arctic region and conducts a comprehensive Arctic policy. The three EU Member States, Finland, Sweden and Denmark are also Members of the Arctic Council.
One example of the European Union’s increased interest in the Arctic is the Arctic Stakeholder Forum, which gathered for its first session in Oulu in June 2017.Photo: Juha Sarkkinen
THE EU's fourth Arctic Communication was published in October 2021.
