The session will focus on the role of Brazil in achieving sustainable development in the Arctic, the economic interests and prospects for scientific cooperation between Russia and Brazil in the Arctic, common approaches to the concept of ecosystem conservation and the climate narrative of Brazil and Russia, and the approaches of Russia and Brazil in preserving indigenous peoples. The main goal of the conference will be to elaborate on the key promising areas of cooperation in the Arctic including economic issues.
