Abstract
The authors carry out a comprehensive analysis of anthropogenic and terrorist threats facing the Arctic region in the light of growing economic and military activities. The risks associated with the active development of the region are described, including accidents on oil and gas platforms, oil spills, accidents on ice routes and transportation of hydrocarbons in the harsh climate of the Arctic. The threats of terrorist attacks on power infrastructure, transport routes and scientific bases, including sabotage at oil and gas facilities and cyberattacks on control systems, are also being considered. Special attention is paid to the need to strengthen security and international cooperation to minimize risks and ensure the sustainable development of the region.
