Breaking New Ice: Singapore, Canada, and the US in the Arctic

Speakers: Dr. Hema Nadarajah, Asia-Pacific Foundation of Canada
Dr. Christopher LenISEAS - Yusof Ishak Institute, Singapore  
 
Moderator: Dr. Elizabeth Wishnick, RICE fellow, East-West Center, and Senior Research Scientist, CNA


This series of five expert dialogues examines US collaboration with Indo-Pacific  partners in sustainable resource development and governance in the Arctic, in the context of concern over deepening Sino-Russian collaboration in resource governance and trade. The second dialogue in our series examines perspectives from two scholars from Singapore who will discuss their country's interests in and contribution to the Arctic region, as well as how the Arctic is connected to Singapore. Christopher Len will provide a view of the Arctic from Singapore, focusing on how energy developments in the Arctic -- ranging from the development of remote energy systems, to natural resource extraction and utilization, to research on low carbon and clean energy solutions -- are connected to the wider world including Singapore and the Southeast Asian region. Hema Nadarajah, Senior Program Manager for Southeast Asia at Canada's Asia-Pacific Foundation, also will address Canada's interest in engaging with Southeast Asian partners in the Arctic. The dialogue will conclude with a discussion of the potential for US engagement with Singapore in the Arctic.

 

US Indo-Pacific Partners and the Arctic
Breaking New Ice: US Indo-Pacific Partner and the Arctic

The US Indo-Pacific Strategy aims to develop coalitions that pursue common goals outside the region as well as within it. Although the US Arctic Strategy prioritizes cooperation with Arctic allies in sustainable resource development and governance, US Indo-Pacific partners (Japan, South Korea, India, and Singapore) also share these goals as well as our concern over deepening Sino-Russian collaboration in Arctic resource governance and trade.
