Fierce competition for minerals, military bases and commercial maritime routes have accelerated the strategic importance of the Arctic. Environmental challenges are simmering in the background while major players are looking elsewhere. 

Superpower ambitions are potentially shaking up the future of Canada and Greenland. Russia and China have found a new partnership. Both are keen to get economic and military advantages.  

What does it all mean for western European security and to the UK? 

Our panel: 

Astrid Thors, a lawyer, a Finnish politician, former MP and member of European Parliament, the former Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) High Commissioner on National Minorities (2013-2016), former minister of Migration and European Affairs in Finland. Deputy President of Liberal International. 

Henrik Bach Mortensen, former Chairman of the Danish Institute of Parties and Democracy (DIPD). Vice President in ALDE (2016-2023). VP Liberal International
