does the arctic really belong to? more than half of the arctic coastline is russian territory. 2000000 people lived there about half of the population of the entire arctic region. then there's the us with alaska greenland, which is part of denmark, canada, iceland and no way international law gives these countries the right to control natural resources and exclusive economic sense, up to 200 nautical miles from the coastline. the arctic region beyond those boundaries, including the north pole, is agreed to be a common heritage of old mankind. that means it should be held in trust for future generations. protected from exploitation by nations or corporations. much countries can apply for lodge a exclusive economic sense if they can prove that the shallow sea of the coastline goes out further than 200 kilometers. no way russia, canada and denmark have already done that. presumably for when the melting ice opens up, all those economic opportunities having

a strong presence and the optic is becoming more important. the optic is caught up in this large political tension between a don't russian. and it's, it's an all the optics strategic importance for russia. but also leads to the increased minute their activity in the north. and they asked us, talking analyzes the political dynamics of the arctic region. fixtures of military strength often reveal much about potential future conflicts. and surprise, surprise, in the arctic it's shaping up to the oil and gas money. just how much money can be seen in russ as largest predicted area. the great arctic nature reserves and the massive or project their loss, stuck oil, russia hoops to extract 6000000000 tons of crude and 2 trillion cubic meter is of

gas here, the rest has invasion of ukraine has however, put a dent in these plans. the most of the project has lost investors and access to western oil and gas tech and services, but others, us dipping in one major investor is china. finally, of course, interest in optic science because with all this knowledge, it's impossible to operate the optic. this is on a cobra, she does research on china's arctic policy. so i nice very hung therefore associates because it's economic growth. it's mainly based on heavy industry and leave me a lot of in our see a lot of us or mean they're all just all see you all think it's a new area where where and it's going to fly fishing. so that's why prussia is growing to drill and the optics to secure energy supplies. these presumed huge gas and oil resources are often cited as fact. but most numbers refer

to just one study of the united states to your logical survey, which was already carried out in 2009. and it's important to understand that the percentage has an estimates that are provided in these before it's i really highly, i'm sorry, this is not doing. she and her team research tell us scientific estimates became economic fact. and what about the people living in the optics? the land is not only melting under their feet, it's also the center of geopolitical tensions. for the 500000 indigenous peoples living in the arctic, it's about survival. the income culture and traditions are dependent on and closely linked to in and culturally intact arctic habitats. for now, toxic substances from fossil fuel exploration and mining of putting the water and soil at risk. absorbed by plankton implants, they poisoned the food chain at the source between 20132019

the number of ships and the arctics through by 25 percent. they bring discharges from wastewater, oil, pollution and underwater noise on top of that move ships, then have the fuel oil, adoptee, and this goes fossil fuel. when heavy fuel oil is spilled and cold pulling on waters, it's especially damaging and cold climatic regions. oil is more viscous and doesn't break up into small droplets. which oil degrading bacteria could consume. their useful oil spills and accidents can be, can be a really serious challenge to clean up here. this is elena tracy. she works on how to develop the optic sustainably incorporation with indigenous groups. because when do they say you're so smart plugs? so clean up activation. so usually leads accidents can the systems what of large populations of species and cause damage to levels. ringback

fortunately, and there may i do have, i'm coming to people local, national and international engineers who envision sustainable cooperation in the arctic and is ok to counsel the leading body for the corporation and coordination among the arctic states and indigenous peoples. the optic council promotes sustainable development and environmental protection in the region by providing assessments and clear recommendations on action, which should be carried out by the arctic states. but those are not finding. it's up to each state which action is taken. a big success of international cooperation was the central arctic oceans fishing moratorium signed by the us, russia, china, the you and several more countries in 2021. this multi lateral agreement takes

a legally binding, precautionary, and perhaps to protect an area from commercial fishing before such fishing has become there is no sign yet of such a law to protect the optics from oil and gas trailing. i think the supercede thing issue and all development decision should it be in the arctic for, for new coal fired plans for extracting oil and gas out of the ground should be climate change. this is martha holmes, the founder of the arctic institute. us think tank and one way to address that should be some kind of global funds where projects like that to be could be offset where it's like, hey, rush, or how about knots. i'm extracting oil and gas resources out of the ground. and there will be some kind of compensation funds that every country in the world will pay into only a binding multilateral treaty can protect the optics. and in the end, corporation is a key. the,

as border crops around the funds. it helps protect the story from up to 90 percent of settlement loss related to that at the last. it's the best way to prevent a story and it goes on. it seems like, you know, lots of sloop indeed you know, skills planting that the the far you help prevent the story from it or tell you a little bit ago. but the narrow them down as a useful as vegetable is, as a naturally battery, a local som was needed to be convinced that it also had economic value or the end you feel made develop. when society came up with the idea of using the gospel handicrafts, vegetable leaves are now used. we've gift baskets to market spices, go in the region about whether or not going the boss good. the be a made development society by the boss gets they me and uses them as organic is spices, give boxes or going to add value, all excited. but let me tell you, gives you the money in the region, have joined forces to make the initiative

a success, sharing the basket, weaving expertise, thomas at the day of the week on the new guide them and boarding them in salt water for 30 minutes. we then did them in fresh water and leave them to drying the sun for 4 days, and then we can use them to make baskets. and the due at 8 o'clock from the end of the week, i know the initiative of fluids, the women griego financial independence, the own up to a 122 peaceful boss get is ridiculous. the mothers who are at home and they do not go to school and those who don't have much, landman farm on a lot of don't have any other source of income and about the funding. so this stuff is a good source of income for them. they're very happy to go all the way from dosher labor when they get flu, before i had to ask my husband for my bus man whenever i wanted to anyways, and now have joined this project. i'm more independent and no longer rely on my husband may be facing the pool, right?

i could say at i, the boss could leaving business mazda financial incentive for the farmers degree with the graphs and the more vegetables, as shown here, the better predicted the area is from dangerous lands lights. this project is a classic example of how ecological consideration and economy empowerment can go hand in hand. the audio systems on the fact i'm sometimes pings might see monitors scary or even will do this. and that's completely understandable because these are not small properties. that's not very easy to solid, but i see that there really whole lies in collective action and smaller changes. but do let me know what do you think you can email us or do you talk to me directly on my soul? she media handles. i will see you next week with more soft stories under then they get would by almost got the,
