International Stewardship
International Governance Solution. WWF works with world leaders, academics and indigenous peoples around the world to develop innovative solutions to the crises facing the Arctic today.
Thirty years ago, there was only one catalyst driving governance discussions in the Arctic: the Cold War. Today, although sovereignty and security remain topics of discussion, other governance challenges include climate change, the rights of indigenous peoples, search and rescue, administration of offshore oil and gas development and numerous other topics.
The world has grown too complex to negotiate another Antarctic Treaty. However there are a range of innovative multilateral solutions that could address the challenges listed above.
To learn more about Governance gaps, options for filling them and one proposal that WWF has made, read our International Governance and Regulation of the Marine Arctic reports.
