Robert Habeck: Arctic Meltdown

Arctic warming, which is progressing four times faster than the global average, is causing the ice to melt and sparking international rivalries: interests that are being ruthlessly pursued.

Robert Habeck outlines the history of the Arctic—including its exploitation by Denmark—tells the stories of the people who live there, and takes a look behind the scenes of global politics.

He analyzes the American claim to Greenland, describes Russia’s aggressive return to the “Red Arctic,” explains China’s push for the “Polar Silk Road”—and examines what the race for new trade routes and vast raw material deposits means for the rules-based world order.

On the stage of the Berliner Ensemble, Robert Habeck will read from his new book for the first time.
