“The Forum is of utmost strategic importance for the whole global community. Russia’s northern Arctic territories have a significant historical, political and economic impact on the country’s development. Their potential can and should be efficiently used a foundation for stabilizing economic processes in the country”.

 The Environment program consists of several projects one way or another concerning environmental issues. For the Northern Forum history, involvement in this program has been steadily growing according to growing challenges in the Northern environments.

Current Environment projects are: Northern Zoos Cooperation, Youth Eco Forum, Water & Climate Change working group and Brown Bear working group. Northern Zoos Cooperation is a strong project that has been active for a while in bringing zoos of the North together. Youth Eco Forum is an event project of a completely different nature - being an educational forum for school students, aimed at drafting resolutions on top eco problems of the North. Water and Climate Change WG is a research working group dedicated on studying effects of water floods; and in a similar manner, the Brown Bear WG is a scientific research group - but with an aim of making co-existence of humans and brown bears in the Northern communities safe.
