FINAL REPORT AND - TECHNICAL PROCEEDINGS

the development of the Arctic as an energy province must therefore balance the external and internal application of energy resources to the external and internal needs of the communities of the north - all with the goal of using its energy resources by and for the residents of the Arctic. [...] the focus of these recommendations is toward long-term sustainable development of energy in the Arctic, balancing the external and internal application of energy resources to the external and internal needs of the communi- ties of the north. [...] potential oil and gas sources include the Vilkitsky area, the laptev Sea, the Vilyuy area, the Khatanga area and the north Kara Sea (all in russia); the West Barents Sea north of russia; Denmark and norway; the West Greenland area; the Sverdrup area north of canada; and the Beaufort-mackenzie area north of canada and Alaska. [...] Sustainability of Energy in the Arctic As described in the discussion of panel Sessions, the concept of sustainability may in fact be the most important area for discussion in the development of the Arctic as an energy province. [...] in the original implemen- tation plan for the Arctic Energy Summit, adequate levels of funding would have supported the creation of educational materials for public schools; a graduate level Arctic energy course through the university of the Arctic; undergraduate and graduate research in the areas of Arctic energy and power; and development of a web-based and interactive Arctic energy atlas.
