How does the European Union position itself in the Arctic? And what is its role in keeping the region safe and stable, promoting international cooperation, and supporting sustainable and inclusive development?

Joining the conversation is Costas Kadis, Commissioner for Fisheries and Oceans of the European Commission.

The Session is moderated by Ólafur Ragnar Grímsson, Chairman of Arctic Circle and Former President of Iceland.

This discussion was recorded live at the Arctic Circle Rome Forum - Polar Dialogue, held March 3rd–4th, 2026.
