This episode focuses on rising sea levels and the implications for fishing communities and exclusive economic zone (EEZ) boundaries. With islands sinking below the waterline, EEZs increasingly disputed and fishers at risk of being displaced, will illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing become more prevalent? In Part Two, Grace and Lauren are joined by Beth Mendenhall, Assistant Professor in the Department of Marine Affairs at the University of Rhode Island, and Andreas Østhagen, Senior Researcher at the Fridtjof Nansen Institute in Oslo, to take a closer look at the complexities of maritime boundaries in the Arctic. --- Net Earth: The Environmental Security Podcast Season One In Hot Water: Illegal Fishing in a Warming World Illegal, unregulated and unreported (IUU) fishing is a multifaceted global threat – one that harms aquatic ecosystems, human security and regional stability, and that stands to evolve significantly in a warming world. As fish numbers and distributions shift in a warming climate and as sea levels rise, interactions between humans and the aquatic environment will alter. With the climate emergency accelerating, our experts discuss the ways in which the IUU fishing landscape is changing, exploring topics such as polar ice melt, contested EEZ boundaries, vulnerable local livelihoods, ownership transparency and crime convergence.

Zhang Yiming is stepping down as chief executive of TikTok's parent company ByteDance. Mr Zhang says he prefers more solitary activities like reading and daydreaming to running the popular video sharing app, and the BBC's Kerry Allen tells us what's behind the move. Also in the programme, there's been an uptick in inflation around the world as countries recover from the pandemic. Mohamed El-Erian, who is an economic adviser and president of Queen's College, Cambridge, explains why he thinks central banks are already behind the curve. Meanwhile Dana Peterson of the US Conference Board argues that recent price rises will prove to be a temporary phenomenon. Plus, as climate change melts Arctic ice, can exploitation of the region be done sustainably? It's one of the talking points at the Arctic Council meeting which is taking place in Reykjavik today, and Svein Vigeland Rottem of environmental research organisation the Fridtjof Nansen Institute in Oslo discusses the background.

Russian and Norwegian interests intersect and occasionally collide in the Barents Sea and Svalbard, an Arctic geopolitical hotspot where lucrative fisheries, extensive energy resources and strategic nuclear forces exist in relatively close proximity. To analyze why simmering tensions between Norway and Russia in the Barents-Svalbard region have once again risen to the surface, Polar Geopolitics is joined by Dr. Andreas Østhagen, a senior research fellow at the Fridtjof Nansen Institute and an expert on Arctic geopolitics and the Barents Sea.

The presentations in this seminar will attempt to differentiate between the impact of declining oil prices and sanctions on current and future Russian oil production, between different sources of financing and how accessing them has been restricted, and relate the sanctions to the accelerating eastward orientation of Russian energy relations.

The project is led by Arild Moe at the Fridtjof Nansen Institute and is financed by the PETROSAM2 programme of the Research Council of Norway. Tid: Onsdag 29.04.15, kl.14:00 Sted: NUPI , C.J.
