Costa says EU needs to adapt to new geopolitics affecting the Arctic

Jornal de Negócios14 September 2026 at 14:20

The former Portuguese prime minister António Costa stated that the European Union needs to adapt to the new geopolitics affecting the Arctic. The statement was made in the context of a broader discussion about political and strategic transformations in the polar region.

Costa highlighted that Russia, being the largest Arctic nation, is one of the main drivers of the trend toward the end of sovereignty and respect for territorial integrity. This observation comes at a time when geopolitical tensions in the region have been intensifying.

Why this matters

As a former head of government, Costa's assessment of EU policy needs regarding Arctic geopolitics is relevant for understanding how Europe is preparing for shifting international dynamics. The remarks highlight growing concerns about territorial challenges in the Arctic, a region of increasing strategic importance due to climate change and resource competition. This matters to readers interested in international relations and European security policy.
