Conclusion (the committee's words)
The Arctic affects a range of UK interests, from security to energy and climate change. This requires a cross-government and multi-disciplinary approach. The need for effective cross-governmental working will increase as the Arctic opens up to greater maritime activity and the security challenges in the region grow more complex.
