The development of the Arctic Passage and surrounding regions as naval route and new sources of energy and natural resources implies a certain number of challenges.

Minimize impact on the regions' eco-system:

• Preserve the environment
• Implant an eco-friendly energy supply-chain throughout the region
• Provide resources to regulate and monitor maritime traffic

Maximize benefits to the global eco-system by:

• Reducing GHG associated with maritime transport
• Promoting the Passage as the economical and secure route between continents
• Allowing passage of ships without size restrictions

Support the parallel development of the Region' economy
