The new fishery agreement between Norway and Russia, negotiated along with Russian warfare in Ukraine, puts the codfish in a special position. While the international sanctions against Russia are strengthened and expanded to hit Russian business and industry, Norwegian-Russian fisheries cooperation is one of the few areas that remain untouched by sanctions.
Why is cod the exception, how does the cross-border fisheries cooperation take place and what are the knock-on effects for the cod stock in the Barents Sea? What are the concequences of the war on climate and where are the future pathways for cod and climate cooperation in the Arctic?
