National Strategy for the Arctic Region
The National Strategy for the Arctic Region sets forth the United States Government’s strategic priorities for the Arctic region. This strategy is intended to position the United States to respond effectively to challenges and emerging opportunities arising from significant increases in Arctic activity due to the diminishment of sea ice and the emergence of a new Arctic environment. It defines U.S. national security interests in the Arctic region and identifies prioritized lines of effort, building upon existing initiatives by Federal, state, local, and tribal authorities, the private sector, and international partners, and aims to focus efforts where opportunities exist and action is needed. It is designed to meet the reality of a changing Arctic environment, while simultaneously pursuing the global objective of combating the climatic changes that are driving these environmental conditions. The strategy is built on three lines of effort: (1) advance U.S. security interests, (2) pursue responsible Arctic Region stewardship, and (3) strengthen international cooperation.
