Subscribers will gain exclusive access to nuanced transnational views of the polar investment and geopolitical landscape through a weekly newsletter and podcast interviews with guests from across the diplomatic, media and entrepreneurial spectrum. Will globalization and climate change spur great-power rivalry in the Arctic? Noting that research from the Council on Foreign Relations examined the Arctic as a potential site for "the return of great-power rivalry"[1] amid the challenges of globalization and climate change, Darst believes that the Arctic North will be the nexus of a number of conflicts and opportunities in the twenty-first century. "The polar region's strategic value is hard to overstate. It holds vast natural and mineral resources and is developing new and high-tech industries in parallel to those riches. Yet in the region, there's also an intricate tapestry of historical and cultural factors that are rarely discussed on a global level. We will delve unflinchingly into all of them in the newsletter and podcast," says Darst. Subscribe to the Polar Futures newsletter and podcast bundle at www.investableuniverse.com/polarfutures.
