ABSTRACT
Energy can be studied by different disciplines; however, it is irrefutable that energy is a geographical concept, as its production, use, and access vary according to the geographical region, and it directly implies local geographical levels of economic and human development. This research focuses on energy in the context of human development, and it aims at assessing the implications of energy production and use on a highly sensitive area that is the Arctic. It also focuses on how Higher Education is promoting learning experiences related to energy and Sustainable Development across the Arctic region. Energy is the essence of the global capitalist manufacturing system and it dictates the international patterns of production and consumption, disparities between demand and supply, and the different levels of economic and human development among geographical areas of the world.
