About this deal

The UK’s National Space Strategy, published in 2021, sets out the government’s ambitions for the UK in space, including the ambition to become a partner of choice in space activities. Following COP15, the UK will continue to lead the Global Ocean Alliance, and play a central role within the High Ambition Coalition for Nature and People, continuing to advocate for international ocean action and supporting implementation of the 30by30 target. Building on commitments made in the 2021 Defence Command Paper, UK Defence will examine options to bolster its cold weather capability to ensure that Arctic-appropriate equipment, activity and infrastructure are all developed and maintained at a credible level. Worthy heir of the distinctive French electro dub touch, Adi Shankara delivers here a true masterpiece.

For travellers considering a visit to the region the FCDO has developed specific Arctic travel advice, in consultation with representatives of the travel industry, which is available via the GOV. Warmer seas are less able to absorb CO2, so more will stay in the atmosphere and further amplify the impacts of global warming. We will work with our partners and Allies to help maintain the Arctic as a place that is safe, secure, peaceful, and well-governed, protecting its environment and the communities that live there. The UK stands ready to recommence participation in broader multilateral cooperation across the Arctic region when appropriate.This outcome is helping to raise the visibility of the ocean within the UNFCCC and strengthen ocean-climate action. The Arctic is changing as a consequence of climate change, with melting sea ice exposing open water, which absorbs more solar heat and thus exacerbates further melt. Enhanced collaboration with rural northern communities is also a focus for the Scottish Government, given the common challenges presented by rurality in Scotland and the Arctic States. The UK is one of only a small number of nations with a focus on the challenges affecting both Polar Regions. The UK- EEA/ EFTA States Free Trade Agreement, which entered into force with Norway in 2022, provides the platform for the further deepening of economic ties.

JNCC contributes technical input to the work of the Arctic Council’s Conservation of Arctic Flora and Fauna (CAFF) Working Group’s Circumpolar Seabird Expert Group (CBird), and the Arctic Migratory Birds Initiative ( AMBI). Where whaling is conducted by Indigenous communities for subsistence purposes, we want this to be sustainable, well-regulated and done to the highest welfare standards as set out by the International Whaling Commission.The UK continues to play an active role in developing the Polar Code at the IMO, including developing Phase 2 covering the application to non-SOLAS ships, including fishing vessels, private yachts and small cargo ships (under 500GT). Celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2021, its longevity is a testament to the important role the Council has played in promoting peace and cooperation in the Arctic. The UK is also leading the establishment of an independent, intergovernmental science-policy panel for chemicals, waste and pollution, after the adoption of a United Nations Environment Assembly resolution which seeks the formation of an open-ended working group to create the panel by the end of 2024. The UK has close relationships and bilateral defence co-operation agreements with the majority of Arctic States. On both issues, the UK is working in the International Maritime Organization ( IMO) to establish measures that can mitigate such detrimental impacts on the Arctic environment.
