Climate change and the plight of polar bears are argued to be inter-related. This issue involves different aspects of Arctic governance including international instruments such as The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) and the Kyoto Protocol, regional bodies like the Arctic Council and specific instruments including, the 1973 International Agreement on the Conservation of Polar Bears and Their Habitat and other regulatory measures from national authorities (from the eight sovereign Arctic States) (Jeffers, 2010). This broad Arctic governance forms the context within which local entities operate. This landscape has been criticised for being fragmented and lacking focused efficient decision-making processes for effective management (Clark et al, 2008). This in turn has implications for CSR and sustainable tourism.
