Blue Economy and Maritime Security

In this episode, we turn our attention to how Nordic countries and India are engaging with the questions of blue economy and maritime security in the context of the Arctic and beyond. As Arctic waters open and interest in ocean resources grows, new challenges and opportunities are emerging around sustainable development, marine governance, and strategic cooperation. Moderating the session was Maria Elizabeth Joseph, Assistant Director of the Ananta Centre.   This conversation was recorded live at the Arctic Circle India Forum, held in New Delhi on May 3–4, 2025, and is part of the Polar Dialogue. Arctic Circle is the largest network of international dialogue and cooperation on the future of the Arctic. It is an open democratic platform with participation from governments, organizations, corporations, universities, think tanks, environmental associations, Indigenous communities, concerned citizens, and others interested in the development of the Arctic and its consequences for the future of the globe.
