"Will the Arctic be a 21st Century Sarajevo, triggering a major war over energy resources? Canada, Denmark, Norway, Russia and the United States are at odds over 1.2 million square kilometers (460,000 square miles) of Arctic seabed which could possibly hold 25% of the world's oil and gas.

Climate change, which is rendering the region increasingly accessible, has upped the ante, making the need for an international resolution of the conflicting claims in the area more pressing. Maritime security and protection of the fragile Arctic ecosystem will also be hot items on the agenda at the May 28 meeting."
