WASHINGTON (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 05th May, 2021) Russia's two-year term as chair of the eight-nation Arctic Council offers an opportunity to expand international climate science in the High North, State Department coordinator for the Arctic James DeHart said on Wednesday.

and we will absolutely make space for that in this administration," DeHart told guests at the Brookings Institution. "A Lot of this takes place through the Arctic Council and we can continue that in the Russian chairmanship and we see potential for cooperation under the Russian chairmanship on the science related to climate."
