As a result of the climate change the situation in Arctic area leads to several important consequences.
On the one hand, oil and gas resources can be exploited much easier than before. Thus, one can already
observe discussions on disputed shelf zones where the deposits are located. On the other hand, oil and
gas excavation leads to serious potential threats to fishing by changing natural habitats which in turn
can create serious damage to the economies of some countries in the region. Another set of problems
arises due to the extension of navigable season for Arctic Shipping Routes.
We present a model allowing one to analyze preferences of the countries interested in natural,
maritime and fish resources, and reveal potential conflicts among them. We strongly believe that early
forecast of such potential conflict zones might ease the decision making process in international
relations.
