His work examines the complexities of cooperation and conflict in the Arctic, the interests and actions of key players like Norway, the EU, the USA, and China, as climate and political landscapes evolve. Østhagen has a Ph.D. in International Relations from the University of British Columbia and has held several academic and advisory roles related to Arctic geopolitics. At the conference, he will discuss climate change and its impact on security policy in the northern areas, followed by a Q&A session.
