Abstract

The note argues that the Arctic region has become a focal point of international competition due to climate change, with disputes over territorial, resource, and navigational rights among the Arctic Five (Canada, Denmark, Norway, Russia, and the United States). It advocates for a worldcentric mediation approach, emphasizing global sustainability and fairness, to resolve these disputes effectively while addressing the region's ecological sensitivity and the long-term sustainability of the planet.
