No need for NATO presence in Arctic (Lavrov)
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Monday he sees no need of NATO presence in the Arctic.
“We firmly believe that there are no problems in the Arctic which demand NATO participation, moreover, there are no problems there which demand military decisions,” the minister said during a public lecture on Russia’s foreign policy.
According to Lavrov, long before the Ukrainian crisis, NATO said and continues saying that the military factor in the Arctic will increase amid the escalation of the fight for the resources.
“The Arctic is a territory of dialogue,” the minister stressed. “We use this slogan for regular forums in Russia, and the work of the Arctic Council, to a large extent, is drawn up in this way,” he said.

Russia dispatches naval force to reopen Arctic base
MOSCOW:
Russia on Saturday (Sep 6) sent six ships carrying personnel and
equipment to a Soviet-era military base in the Arctic that it is
reopening to bolster its presence in the region, Russian news agencies
reported. Moscow is ramping up its military presence in the pristine but
energy-rich region as other countries such as Canada and Norway are
also staking claims to access its resources.
President Vladimir Putin last year ordered the military to return to a base on the far-Northern New Siberian Islands that was abandoned in 1993. On Saturday, a fleet of six ships including two large landing ships set off from the port of Severomorsk in northern Russia, a spokesman for the Western military district, Vadim Serga, told ITAR-TASS news agency.

We need a new revolution (Janez Potočnik)
European Commission, New Environmentalism Summit, Brussels, 3 June 2014:
Janez Potočnik, European Commissioner for Environment:
"Good afternoon everyone, thank you James.
I hope you all agree it has been a fascinating day with really excellent speakers.
Recently I gave a TED talk which had
the title 'New Environmentalism and the Circular Economy'. Some of you
may have watched it on YouTube so I will try not to repeat too much of
what I have said before but some of the points I made in that talk are
highly relevant to this one and need to be repeated.

Russia to create united naval base system for ships, subs in Arctic
A united system of naval bases for ships and next-generation
submarines will be created in the Arctic to defend Russia’s interests in
the region, President Vladimir Putin said.
He urged the government to provide full state funding for the socio-economic development of the Russian Arctic through 2017-20.
Putin said that a separate state agency should be created to implement Russian policy in the Arctic and to improve the quality of governance and decision-making in this area.
“We do not need a bulky bureaucratic body, but a flexible operational structure, which will help better coordinate the activities of ministries and departments, regions and businesses,” he said.

Environment: Experts meet to discuss how to better fight wildlife trafficking in the EU and globally
European Commission, Press release, Brussels, 10 April 2014 -
Following an invitation by the
European Commission, 170 experts met today in Brussels to discuss how
the EU can better fight wildlife trafficking.
The conference marked the end of a public consultation which was launched on 7 February with a Communication by the Commission (COM (2014) 64 final). The background of the Commission's
initiative is the surge in wildlife trafficking globally over the last
years which has reached a level that threatens the survival of some
endangered species and undermines good governance and sustainable
development. Organised crime is significantly involved in this lucrative
business, also within the EU.

UN Commission recognises Sea of Okhotsk enclave part of Russia
The UN Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf has recognized the Sea of Okhotsk enclave with an area of 52,000 sq.km part of the Russian continental shelf, Minister of Natural Resources and the Environment Sergey Donskoy told Russian journalists today.
He said that the ministry has received a formal certificate from the UN Commission satisfying Russia’s appeal to recognize the enclave in the Sea of Okhotsk part of the Russian shelf. This is an actually acknowledged fact and I can congratulate everyone, the minister said.
Answering an Itar-Tass correspondent’s question, the minister stressed that the decision on the enclave is final and not subject to revision. Now the enclave is fully under Russia’s jurisdiction, the minister said.

Less is More: We Need a Global Strategy to End Fishing Overcapacity
The global ocean, from the coast to the high seas, is facing multiple threats. We rely on the ocean for food, for transport, for the very air we breathe, but the current systems in place for governing and managing its resources are not fit for purpose. As a result, fish stocks are being depleted, rich biodiversity is at risk and illegal fishing vessels threaten the food security of whole nations. It is our economies that suffer -- depletion of fish stocks alone costs the global economy an estimated $50 billion per year.
The root of the problem is fishing overcapacity: too many boats chasing too few fish. Most problematic are the thousands of powerful, modern boats, equipped with high-tech tools able to find fish almost anywhere. But the more fish these boats take out, the fewer fish there are that can reproduce, and the more fishers must turn to potent tools to find them.
