Demographic Changes

• AI -> modernize industries, improve activities
• modernize economy -> important global power

If fails to adapt : economy influence may decline

Climate Change and the Arctic in 2050

problems:

• melting permafrost can damage infrastructure (roads, pipelines, buildings ...)

• reparing damages is expensive

• environemental risks: pollution and loss of ecosysteme

-> it's both an opportunity and a challenge for russia

• Today: Russia controls a large part of the artic -> contains natural ressources: oil, gas, minerals

• melting ice coul open new shipping routes (Europpe - Asia) -> make russia key country for global trade

ships could traver faster ansd easily

Geopolitics and International Relations

¨Russia might hold partnerships with countries such as : • China • India • Countries in Africa • Middle Eastern nations Russia could also act as a bridge between Europe ans Asia
