Abstract :Global warming presents both profound challenges and strategic opportunities for the Russian Federation, particularly in its vast Arctic and permafrost regions. This article explores the multifaceted impacts of permafrost thawing, examining its environmental, economic, and geopolitical dimensions. On the one hand, thawing permafrost accelerates greenhouse gas emissions, destabilizes infrastructure, and disrupts ecosystems and traditional livelihoods. On the other hand, it unlocks access to untapped natural resources, expands arable land, and facilitates the development of the Northern Sea Route (NSR) as a strategic alternative to traditional maritime routes. This analysis highlights how these dynamics are reshaping Russia’s Arctic strategy, influencing global energy markets, and contributing to a potential shift in agricultural and geopolitical landscapes. The article also evaluates the Russian government’s policies, juxtaposing short-term adaptive measures with long-term strategic ambitions, and discusses the broader implications for international relations and global climate governance.
