Environmental Stewardship Committee

Because expedition cruising in the Arctic is governed by complex multi-layered environmental regulations, often unique to each of the sovereign nations where AECO members operate, the Environmental Stewardship Committee fills an increasingly critical role for the association.

The committee stays abreast of existing and pending regulatory issues—put forward by various national and regional stakeholders—that pertain to climate change and environmental mitigation efforts.

It advises and works with other committees and the Secretariat to develop initiatives and measurement models that will align with and satisfy national and regional interests.
