Joint Arctic Security Conference

On September 22, 2025, Konrad Adenauer Stiftung (Canada), the Canadian Institute for Arctic Security, the Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada and the Macdonald-Laurier Institute will hosted a Joint Arctic Security Conference in Whitehorse, Yukon.

This diverse gathering saw remarks from territorial and think-tank leaders, deep discussion with Yukon First Nations, federal agencies responsible for security and safety, Asia-Pacific views of the Arctic, the energy needs for the region, and one-on-one conversations between attendees.

A video of the conference is available on the KAS Canada YouTube page:

The CIAS was honoured to be asked by KAS to help organize the conference in Whitehorse, and to develop programming with some of the most influential think-tanks in Canada. Thank you to the local attendees and to the visitors. We hope you got a good dose of the realities in the North, and had a enjoyable visit to the Yukon.
