EVENT REPORT: Navigating a Changed World: Security Challenges for Canada, Eurasia, and the Arctic

By Trevor Peeters

Report Details: This event was held on Friday March 21st from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm to examine key security and defence issues in Eurasia and the Arctic regions that will shape Canada’s strategic landscape in 2025, particularly amid the uncertainty of a new U.S. presidential administration. As an Arctic country and NATO member, Canada has critical interests in evolving Northern and Eurasian security and defence environments. Canada has pledged to continue assistance to Ukraine and to safeguard its interests in the Arctic, has expanded its diplomatic presence in the Caucasus and must account for China’s ever-shifting global role, including in Central Asia. Bringing together scholars and practitioners, this conference will explore regional and global trends, identifying both emerging challenges and new opportunities for Canada in this complex security environment.
