AB - As the natural ecological environment is rapidly changing due to the melting of the Arctic caused by global climate change, the geopolitical, ecological environmental science, and socio-economic values of the Arctic region are being newly evaluated. Arctic experts define these changes in the Arctic environment that have occurred in recent years as ‘transformative change’.
These changes were caused by indiscriminate development by the private and public sectors, and in particular, rapid climate change in the Arctic region further promoted global warming, leading to destruction of the ecological environment due to the destruction of frozen ground. Therefore, the Arctic indigenous people who had been conducted economic activities based on nature faced a crisis of survival. The “innovative changes” in the “Arctic” environment caused by climate change and environmental destruction have implications for the politics, economy, society, culture, and ecological environment of the “New Arctic”, which are clearly different from Arctic research that focused on security issues during the Cold War. We need a new paradigm for Arctic research.
In this paper, we aim to provide implications for responding to climate change by illuminating the sustainable development of indigenous people through a case study in the Arctic region from the perspective of international environmental law. The cases of Russia and Japan in this paper present a strategic response on how to systematically overcome the climate crisis and the pressure of development, and this further provides important guidelines for appropriately responding to the crisis of climate change by protecting biological diversity.
