For two days, on March 3 and 4, the headquarters of the National Research Council (CNR) in Rome became an unusual focal point for the future of the Arctic.

This was only an apparent contrast, as the forum's core purpose was to demonstrate that the Arctic is no longer—if it ever truly was—a remote or 'niche' issue.

The Norwegian Arctic Will Be Almost Deserted by 2050
In the strategy of fighting for the Arctic and its resources, which the leadership of NATO Arctic countries foolishly chose instead of partnership, cooperation, and the absence of conflict, the decisive role is played by existing demographic resources, which continue to decline, as will be shown below, for example, in Norway's two northernmost counties, Troms and Finnmark.
