Safe and Sustainable Arctic Shipping Management and Development presents insight into what is happening currently in the Arctic in shipping and natural resource exploration. It discusses the challenges in harnessing the potential of the Arctic and are geared towards achieving a sustainable and productive Arctic. It enables both researchers and practitioners to apply the theoretical knowledge obtained in the field to solve challenging Arctic issues.
The book focuses on the management and development of Arctic shipping, including the use of shipping for natural resource exploration and the socio-economic implications of shipping activities in the Arctic. It covers the geography, planning, environmental, economics, management, policy, regulations, and governance of the Arctic comprehensively. It also closely integrates the implications of Arctic activities with indigenous ways of life. The book is divided into four major sections, namely Theoretical Settings, Economic Opportunities and Risks, Operational Challenges, and Environmental and Social Implications.
This book is a quality companion to any researchers, policymakers, and industrial practitioners involved in transport and environmental planning and management as a solid platform for further research, planning, and development of appropriate policies and practices.
