New video on Alaska's changing Arctic: Energy Issues and Trends

The report was led by the Center for Arctic Policy Studies at the International Arctic Research Center.

The report covers four energy topics:

• The history of Alaska’s reliance on oil and the boom-bust impact on the state’s economy
• How Alaska currently produces energy and has become an expert in cold climate renewables and microgrids
• Energy infrastructure planning under rapidly changing environmental conditions
• Current competition and cooperation in the international Arctic energy regime
