Product Information

Where whaling is conducted by Indigenous communities for subsistence purposes, we want this to be sustainable, well-regulated and done to the highest welfare standards as set out by the International Whaling Commission. As such, collaboration on Arctic issues remains limited to only essential work as appropriate and necessary, subject to further review. We will contest malign and destabilising behaviours and activity which threaten our interests and the stability of the region.

The UK also welcomed their decision in June 2022 to implement a limited resumption in their work in the Arctic Council, in projects that do not involve the participation of the Russian Federation.

we remain committed to the Arctic Council through our role as a State Observer, recognising that the Council has been the preeminent intergovernmental forum promoting cooperation in the Arctic. Our six specially-equipped aircraft are capable of carrying out scientific measurements and logistical support to science projects in the Arctic. An HFO spill would severely harm the fragile marine and coastal Arctic environment, with serious long term detrimental effects.

Its 16 projects involved over 170 investigators from 15 countries in addition to the UK and Germany. As a result of absorbing excess heat and human CO2 emissions, negative impacts on the ocean and associated ecosystems are being seen. Three seasons of science cruises in the Barents and Greenland Seas have been completed, over 40 other science cruises with other international partners, as well as additional field work in other locations.Local Arctic air pollution can be severe and significantly exceed air quality standards, impairing public health and affecting ecosystems.
