Abstract

The co-construction of the “Polar Silk Road” is an important way for China to participate in the protection, exploitation, and governance of the Arctic, and scientific and technological innovation is an important support for promoting the co-construction. China has a certain foundation in scientific expedition, scientific research infrastructure construction, equipment research and manufacturing for the Arctic. However, there still exist some problems such as a weak overall planning mechanism, inadequate investment, lagging in platform construction. Based on the white paper titled China’s Arctic Policy and the relevant principles for the “Polar Silk Road”, China should vigorously promote scientific innovation and humanistic research related to the knowledge, protection, exploitation, and management of oceans in the Arctic; and make larger breakthroughs in marine observation, sea ice research, biological and ecological systems, pollution control, response to climate change, shipping technology, and oil and gas development technology. To promote the scientific and technological innovation for the “Polar Silk Road”, China should strengthen bilateral and multilateral cooperation, launch international scientific programs, establish public platforms, and strengthen talent exchange and training.
