A panel discussion with international experts will focus on the need to strengthen sanctions against Russian fossil fuel projects in the Arctic, particularly the Arctic LNG-2 and Yamal LNG projects and vessels exporting Russian fossil fuels via the Northern Sea Route. Based on research by Razom We Stand, Urgewald, and Greenpeace, we will examine how the further expansion of Russian LNG exports poses an extraordinary threat to the climate and international security.
