The Czech Republic and the Arctic Council

 

Welcome to the webpages dedicated to Czech activities in the Arctic. The Czech Republic officially applied for Observer Status in the Arctic Council in December 2020. At the meeting in Reykjavik in May 2021, no decision was taken on admitting new Observers.

Although obtaining Observer Status is not currently on the table, the Czech Republic remains committed to the Arctic as a region of peaceful coexistence open to scientific research and as a region that brings states and its people together in preventing and combatting negative impacts of climate change, and Czech scientific community shall continue their research activities.

The Czech Republic has a long tradition of Arctic research - Czech scientists operate an Arctic Research Station in Svalbard and they are involved in number of long-term research projects focused especially on the environment, climate change and related sociological and economic issues.
