Arctic Frontlines: Canada, Europe, and the Future of Security in the North
In this episode, we sit down with Karsten Friis, Senior Research Fellow at the Norwegian Institute of International Affairs (NUPI), to explore the evolving security landscape in the Arctic. As great power competition intensifies and climate change opens new strategic frontiers, the region’s importance for both European and Canadian defense policy is growing rapidly. Friis discusses how NATO allies are adapting to new challenges in the High North, the future of transatlantic security cooperation, and why building stronger defense partnerships is key to maintaining stability in the Arctic.
