Given the magnitude of the risks associated with commercial activities in the Arctic arising as a result of the milder climate, new business opportunities raise important questions of responsibility and liability. This book analyses the issues of responsibility and liability connected with the exploitation of natural resources, marine transport and other activities in the Arctic. Applying a combined private and public law perspective on these issues, it considers both the business and societal interests related to Arctic development using Greenland as an example. The book focuses on problems that are specific to Greenland and wider issues that affect all Arctic states.

This book considers the role of cultural legitimacy in the choice and effectiveness of international legal and policy interventions aimed at tackling the impact of climate change through adaptation and mitigation. The book showcases innovative ideas from across the disciplines and investigates the link between the efficacy of international legal and policy mechanisms on climate change and cultural legitimacy. Chapters with a theoretical basis are included as well as specific case-studies from around the globe.

It uniquely offers concrete and practicable solutions based on experiences of researchers and administrative officials with Access and Benefit-Sharing (ABS), and on the interpretation of the Nagoya Protocol on how free and lively taxonomic research can be ensured while at the same time observing obligations of obtaining prior informed consent and sharing of benefits.With foreword from Executive Secretary CBD, Braulio Ferreira de Souza Dias.
