Sans nous masquer la gravité de la crise écologique, il relève les signes d'une réaction qui nous permet d'espérer un avenir plus vert. " -- 4e de couv.By Chris Turner. 2014

Finland. This was the first step in the formation of the Arctic Council, which was formally established in 1996 to act as a high-level intergovernmental body to address social, political, and environmental issues in the Arctic.
