North American Arctic Security Workshop
In April 2023, the Ted Stevens Center, in partnership with the North American and Arctic Defense and Security Network (NAADSN) and the University of Greenland Ilisimatusarfik’s Nasiffik Center (Nasiffik), held the first ever North American Arctic Security Workshop in Nuuk, Greenland. The workshop brought together Allies and partners with diverse expertise from Canada, the Kingdom of Denmark, and the United States to discuss the broad and multifaceted aspects affecting North American Arctic Security.
These unclassified workshops are designed as a sequenced series across the North American Arctic. The first workshop in the series was held in April 2023 in Nuuk, Greenland (Nuuk Workshop). The second workshop was held in May 2024 in Iqaluit, Nunavut (Iqaluit Workshop). The third is planned to be held in 2025 in Whitehorse, and the fourth in 2026 in Alaska. In planning the NAASW this way, the intent is to provide geographically unique perspectives that collectively compose a continental-wide mosaic of salient factors affecting the overall security of the North American Arctic.
