The Future of Antarctic Cooperation and Global Geopolitical Challenges

Symposium on the Future of Antarctic Cooperation and Global Geopolitical Challenges

Under the growing global geopolitical challenges, are the Antarctic Treaty System and its legal system (ATS) still fit for its purpose of maintaining the Antarctica as a natural reserve, devoted to peace and science? Looking into the future meetings to be held in Finland in 2023, Italy in 2025 and Japan in 2026, the world’s renowned experts will discuss whether the ATS has the capacity to continue as a dominant Antarctic governance regime.

This Symposium is being held in Japan (in English) and will be available on Zoom (no fees). It is part of the KOBE PCRC Antarctic Open Symposium Series.

Date: December 1 (Thursday), 2022
Time: 8:00 pm-12:00 am Pacific Standard Time
