EU Arctic Forum 3-4 oktober 2019

The European Commission, the European External Action Service, and the Government of Sweden will jointly organise the EU Arctic Forum in Umeå, Sweden, on 3-4 October 2019.

From the mountains to the coast, together we create an attractive region with good living conditions for everyone.

High Representative/Vice-President Federica Mogherini, the Swedish Minister for Foreign Affairs Ann Linde and Commissioner Karmenu Vella will host the event.

The EU Arctic Forum will provide an opportunity to assess recent developments in the Arctic and to discuss the challenges ahead. A broad range of Arctic stakeholders representing governments, international organisations, civil society, industry, research, indigenous and local communities will feed into the discussion.

The event will build on the achievements of the EU Arctic policy in recent years and will provide a strategic outlook for the years to come. The focus will be on international cooperation, the climate-environment-ocean nexus, sustainable investments, and connectivity in the Arctic.
