欧盟于2026年10月20日发布新的北极战略，旨在应对该地区日益复杂的地缘政治局势和气候变化威胁1。欧盟委员会主席冯德莱恩将北极描述为"地缘政治构造板块碰撞的地方"1，反映出这一地区在大国竞争中的战略地位。欧盟外交与安全政策高级代表卡亚·卡拉斯指出，俄罗斯"重新启用了苏联时代的基地并在北极地区测试新武器"1，这成为欧盟制定新战略的重要背景。
为强化在北极地区的存在和能力，欧盟计划建立"从海床到太空的海事安全中心"以促进信息共享1，同时扩展破冰船能力和卫星监测系统。战略还包括建设"连接格陵兰直接到欧洲的弹性海底电缆，未来可能延伸至加拿大和日本"1。在能源政策方面，欧盟能源与住房专员约根森表明立场："我们对北极钻探的看法保持不变且非常明确：石油、煤炭和天然气必须留在地下"1。
北极升温速度是全球平均水平的四倍1，凸显气候变化对该地区的加速影响。欧盟的23个成员国是北约成员1，这使得北极战略与欧洲安全架构紧密相连。
The European Union released a sweeping new Arctic strategy on October 20, 2026, designed to address escalating security threats, climate change, and resource extraction in the region.1 The strategy reflects growing geopolitical tensions, with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen characterizing the Arctic as "a place where tectonic plates of geopolitical construction collide."1
The EU's concerns center on multiple fronts. Russia has "reactivated Soviet-era bases and is testing new weapons in the Arctic," according to Kaja Kallas, the EU's High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy.1 Meanwhile, the strategy addresses American influence, particularly in Greenland, and Chinese investment activities in the region.1 The Arctic is warming at four times the global average rate, intensifying both climate and strategic urgency.1 With 23 EU member states also serving as NATO members, the bloc views Arctic security through both environmental and collective defense lenses.1
The EU's response combines infrastructure and resource management initiatives. Plans include establishing a maritime security center spanning "from the seabed to space" to facilitate information sharing, expanding icebreaker capabilities, and deploying satellite monitoring systems.1 Notably, the strategy mandates construction of "resilient submarine cables connecting Greenland directly to Europe, with potential future extensions to Canada and Japan."1 On energy policy, EU Commissioner for Energy and Housing Dan Jørgensen made the bloc's position unequivocal: "Our view on Arctic drilling remains unchanged and very clear: oil, coal, and natural gas must stay in the ground."1
