As the world keeps a close eye on the threat of climate change, the world’s superpowers are positioning themselves to take advantage of the new opportunities that will emerge from an ice-free Arctic — newly accessible trade routes, oil reserves, shifting fisheries, and strategic military positions. In this episode of The Small Print, Brownyn speaks to fellow futurist Tyler Mongan about how the great game of geopolitics may reach the arctic circle in the not so distant future. It is a wide-ranging conversation that also delves into the relationship between economic growth and sustainability, the role of individual responsibility in reducing our global carbon footprint, and the differences between trust and control-based systems.
