About Sustainable Shipping in a Changing Arctic by Lawrence P. Hildebrand
Bringing together multiple perspectives, Sustainable Shipping in a Changing Arctic considers the changing Arctic environment and the challenges and opportunities it creates for the shipping sector. The volume addresses growing interest in potential maritime trade routes, commercial transportation, and natural resource development, and the increased pressure these activities may place on the Arctic marine environment.
The discussion presents the International Maritime Organization Polar Code as an important step toward Arctic stewardship and argues for a forward-looking approach that respects the region’s fragile, changing environment. It may be useful to academics, shipping practitioners, environmentalists, and authorities affected by Arctic shipping.
