In 1996, after several years of cooperation and scientific strategy development, Canada, the
Kingdom of Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Russia, Sweden, and the United States established
the Arctic Council to provide a systematic approach to handling issues affecting the Arctic region.
The Arctic Council was created with four working groups assigned to undertake specific areas of
work. The Emergency Prevention, Preparedness and Response (EPPR) Working Group was formed
to deal with the prevention, preparedness and response to environmental emergencies in the Arctic.
EPPR focuses primarily on prevention and preparedness strategies for radionuclides and oil and gas
transportation and extraction. The goal of the EPPR Working Group is to contribute to the protection
of the Arctic environment from the threat or impact that may result for an accidental release of
pollutants or radionuclides.
