Looking North: Northern England and the National Imagination (Studies in Popular Culture)

Product Information

Defence cooperation centres on working with a key Ally to support the security of this vital region. The UK is committed to working on the international stage to ensure effective governance and environmental protections are in place to regulate ships operating in Arctic waters as they become more accessible. The UK is heavily engaged in AEWA, and the Agreement contributes significantly to many Arctic biodiversity policy objectives, including that of AMBI and other CAFF initiatives.

The UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (2021-2030) provides a common framework to drive ocean action through international collaboration on transformative ocean science. The UK considers that the best way to deliver globally accepted marine protected areas in areas beyond national jurisdiction would be through the BBNJ Agreement.This exhibition is one of a series to be shown at the Walker Art Gallery as part of the National Partners Programme and the Arts Council Collection’s 70th Anniversary celebrations. Finland should be integrated into the Alliance as soon as possible; their accession will strengthen the collective security of Europe. The UK has consistently been at the forefront of international regulatory developments that aim to protect the Ocean and we will continue to do so. We share Sweden’s concerns that the Arctic’s Indigenous communities are particularly vulnerable to climate change. Our Arctic defence and security ties are enduring, extensive and of strategic significance to both our countries, with a longstanding history of close cooperation.

The momentum to address this across the life-cycle of plastic through a system change has continued to grow across governments and the public. We will continue to take a science-led, precautionary and ecosystem-based approach to the management of existing fisheries in which we have an interest, as well as working with Arctic coastal States on the management of any potential fisheries that might emerge as a result of changing migratory patterns in the central Arctic Ocean. The UK has a high regard for animal welfare, and as a result has banned commercially importing and marketing all seal products and any related products.The UK supports a treaty that will restrain the production and consumption of plastic to sustainable levels, address plastic design and encourage more recycling and re-use of plastic. Between January and November 2021, 70% of the UK’s seafood imports came from countries within the Arctic region. Safeguarding the environment from unnecessary pollutants and chemicals is essential if we are to ensure a healthy, safe and productive Arctic. Chemical pollutants have been found in the ice and within the bodies of wildlife, including polar bears, seals and whales.

As well as being a place of fragile beauty, many people in the Arctic rely on it for their livelihoods. Its 16 projects involved over 170 investigators from 15 countries in addition to the UK and Germany. The UK continues to develop links with the Faroe Islands in areas including green energy transition, digital and transport connectivity, and sustainable tourism. Recognising the importance of international collaboration to achieving our mission, the UK will champion a focus on space within the JEF construct and with close Allies in the region.We will continue to engage with our Arctic partners and Allies to contribute to ongoing critical work, and we stand ready to recommence participation in multilateral cooperation across the Arctic region when appropriate. We welcomed discussions with the Sámi community through the Sámi Parliament, ahead of COP26 in 2021, and ensured Indigenous people’s voices, including from the Arctic, were represented throughout COP26. As the Arctic’s climate changes and people’s appetite for alternative travel experiences increases, so does the number of visitors.

million metric tonnes of plastic enter the ocean annually, and science estimates that the annual plastic flow into the ocean will triple between 2016 and 2040. At COP27, under Egypt’s Presidency, Parties agreed under the Sharm El Sheikh Implementation Plan to maintain momentum and ambition for ocean-climate action, building on the Glasgow Climate Pact, by improving the annual dialogue process, encouraging national ocean-based action, and recognising the impact of climate change on the cryosphere. These principles endured through the UK’s updated policy framework that was published in 2018, ‘Beyond the Ice’. Iceland’s new Arctic policy, published in 2021, places a strong emphasis on environmental protection and action to counter climate change, but also focuses on security and defence issues.
