Arctic Energy Summit
• What new energy resources are being explored for or
developed and what does a rich supply of resources mean
for the prosperity of northern peoples?
• How are northern communities enhancing their resource
wealth with value-added activities?
• What mechanisms are working for enhancing national,
state, community or tribal prosperity when energy projects
are developed?
Richness
![Page 13: Institute of the North - In the Arcticarcticparl.org › files › institute_of_the_north_in_the_arctic.pdf · Institute of the North - In the Arctic Presentation by Nils Andreassen,](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042316/5f04a8db7e708231d40f11a5/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Arctic Energy Summit
Resilience • What strategies are necessary for building social and
ecological resilience? How do northern peoples maintain
their rich cultures in times of immense economic and
environmental change?
• How does new technology increase the lifespan of
northern energy systems and extraction projects? What
technologies are making current resource development
possible?

Arctic Energy Summit
Responsibility
• How do we approach energy development that meets the
needs of the world, the environment, the people and a
company’s bottom line?
• How does the world’s demand for energy resources
influence public policy or create pressure to develop these
resources in Arctic nations?
• What does corporate social responsibility mean for the
energy industry in the Arctic?

|Responding to|
Fundamental challenges facing Alaska: • Declining oil production • Decreased state revenue • High energy costs in Fairbanks and much of Alaska • Significant fiscal hurdles in next decade Search for best practices, new and innovative policies and systems that have derived maximum benefit from their resources for their people

for domestic use
2. Co-invest in production and infrastructure, sharing risk
and reward
3. Build regulatory capacity for effective and efficient
development of resources
