Research and analysis: Future of the sea: implications from opening Arctic Sea routes
Updated: Added a link to Dr Nathanael Melia’s blogpost.
This report summarises the evidence for the projected loss of Arctic sea ice and opening of shipping routes due to climate change. It explores how these changes will make trans-Arctic shipping routes more navigable and profitable, and explores the resulting challenges and opportunities for the UK.
It was commissioned as part of the Foresight Future of the sea project.
