  Since it was established in 1996, the Arctic Council has focused on work that promotes sustainable development and environmental protection in the Arctic region.  In 2013, marking the end of the first round of chairmanships, Ministers adopted a Vision for the Arctic, that looks to the future.  Working towards a prosperous Arctic is part of this vision.  It is recognized that the economic potential of the Arctic is enormous and its sustainable development is key to the region’s resilience and prosperity.
