With increasing global interest in the potential development of Arctic energy and natural
resources, both Canada and the European Union have sharpened their focus on developing their
respective Arctic strategies. Meeting the challenges of sustainable and responsible development
in the Arctic will require Canada and the EU to engage with Arctic partners, including
communities, and ensure dialogue between key stakeholders. The panelists will address key
issues in this discussion, including environmental and social impacts of resource development,
corporate-community relations, and Arctic governance.
Panelists include:
Laurent Mayet, Deputy Ambassador to the Polar Regions, Ministry for Foreign Affairs of
France
Charlie Evalik, Chairman of the Nunavut Resources Corporation
