Over the years, Oil and Gas exploitation has continued to increase steadily in the Arctic region. This has led to many concerns about the effect of Hydrocarbon activities on the fragile and distinct environment of the Arctic. It is inevitable to discontinue such activities from taking place in the foreseeable future due to the State's Sovereign Rights over their Natural Resources and the World's growing demand for such resources. Whilst there is a Legal Framework in place, it is largely fragmented and there are no Laws tailored to the Arctic particularly. This has resulted in a general lack of effective legislation Nationally with regards to environmental protection. This book examines the Legal Framework at present, which concerns offshore Oil and Gas exploration in the Arctic. An insight of how these International and Regional Conventions have made an impact to the way in which the Arctic states have transposed these obligations into their National Laws. Further, an analysis comparing Canada's Laws and their approach to Oil and Gas activities in the Arctic to that of the United States of America will be brought forward to assess whether the Laws are in fact fit for purpose.
