International Collaborations with the Arctic Energy Office
National Strategy for the Arctic Region: The United States seeks an Arctic region that is peaceful, stable, prosperous, and cooperative.
Growing Partnerships: The Department of Energy engages with federal, state, local, tribal, academic, and international partners to advance the scientific understanding of the Arctic.
International Cooperation and Governance: The Department of Energy works with our Arctic allies from Canada, the Kingdom of Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden on numerous clean energy dialogues and projects.
Arctic Equities in the U.S.
The Arctic Energy Office, the Office of International Affairs, National Labs, and other impacted DOE program and staff offices coordinate around international Arctic engagements.
According to the Arctic Research and Policy Act of 1984, the term "Arctic" means all United States and foreign territory north of the Arctic Circle and all United States territory north and west of the boundary formed by the Porcupine, Yukon, and Kuskokwim Rivers; all contiguous seas, including the Arctic Ocean and the Beaufort, Bering and Chukchi Seas; and the Aleutian chain.
DOE’s Arctic equities are guided by the National Strategy for the Arctic Region (NSAR) and the DOE Arctic Strategy. The latest version of the NSAR, issued by President Biden in 2022, reiterates that the United States seeks an Arctic region that is peaceful, stable, prosperous, and cooperative.
As outlined in the DOE Arctic Strategy, we engage with federal, state, local, tribal, academic, and international partners to advance the scientific understanding of the Arctic.
DOE, alongside the other like-minded Arctic Council member states and observers, fosters knowledge sharing and research collaboration to address common challenges in the region. Visit the highlights on this website to learn more.
