作为有漫长海岸线的北极国家,挪威拥有丰富的海洋资源。2023年挪威发布了新的《挪威矿产战略》,同时向挪威议会提交了在位于北极海域的本国大陆架上进行矿物开采的提案。2023年挪威北极海域矿产勘探开发战略主要内容集中在发展矿产活动的可持续性、挪威未来开采关键原材料的潜力、挪威北极海域矿产勘探开发的法律框架与融资工具以及政府前瞻性矿产政策的五个优先领域。挪威北极海域矿产勘探开发战略也在国际上引发了涉及环境影响和商业价值等方面的争议。目前挪威对北极海域矿产勘探开发仍然表现出较为积极的态度,可以预见其将以审慎态度继续推进矿产资源勘探开发。
As an Arctic State with long coastlines,Norway has rich marine resources. In 2023,Norway published a new Norwegian Mineral Strategy and simultaneously submitted a proposal to the Norwegian Parliament for mineral exploitation on its continental shelf located in Arctic seas. The five priorities of the Norwegian strategy for mineral exploration and development in the Arctic waters focus on the sustainability of the development of mineral activities,Norway’s potential for the future exploitation of key raw materials,the legal framework and financing instruments for mineral exploration and exploitation in the Norwegian Arctic Waters and the forward-looking mineral policy. The Norwegian strategy for mineral exploration and exploitation in the Arctic waters has also generated controversy at the international level concerning environmental impacts and commercial value. At present,Norway still shows a relatively positive attitude towards mineral exploration and exploitation in Arctic waters,and it can be expected that it will continue to promote the exploration and exploitation of mineral resources in a prudent manner.
