The European Policy Centre is pleased to invite you to
this edition of EPC Talks Geopolitics
hybrid
exchange with Tanja Joona
, Senior Researcher at the Arctic Centre of
the University of Lapland, Docent in Public International Law, and Chair of
CPMR Baltic Sea Commission Arctic Working Group.
Given
geopolitical tensions in the Arctic, including the military build-up by Russia
and China, it is essential to discuss the challenges and opportunities
confronting the Arctic today. These range from defence and security to climate
and infrastructure, raising the question of how these matters could be better
reflected in the EU and NATO contexts.
Dr
Joona will discuss the main takeaways from the 2025 EU Arctic Forum, key
challenges, and the role of the EU and NATO in the region.
EPC
Talks Geopolitics is a signature
initiative aiming to engage globally renowned speakers in an interactive
conversation on relevant geopolitical issues. This exchange is also part of
ECP’s newest initiative, the Northern Europe Platform.
Participation is open to EPC members only, the
media, and EU officials
