The Arctic is important to Norway. 10 per cent of us live in the Arctic. And most of Norway's territory is in the Arctic - if you include our ocean territory. NATO is important to Norway, and to the Arctic as a region that is vital to security and prosperity. But my topic today will be why the Arctic is not only a regional issue, but a global one. This holds true in particular when it comes to climate change. http://arcticjournal.com/press-releases/3153/arctic-means-global-climate-change-and-global-security

Preparing for risk is always prudent in procurement, but there seems to be particular urgency for it now, with companies looking for new solutions that suit the modern world. Disruption can happen as the result of slowly changing factors, or it can occur all at once, with the rise of some sort of sudden event that forces new strategies. Either way, the use of strategic sourcing stands to be another key lever for necessary improvement.http://www.strategicsourceror.com/2017/03/disruption-planning-hot-topic-in.html

The Great Salt Lake is largest water body in the United States after the Great Lakes. It is a terminal basin, which means the water that pours into the lake from rivers and streams has no outlet other than evaporation. This allows salts and minerals to concentrate in the lake such that it is three to five times saltier than the ocean. And yet this briny lake is a haven for more than 250 species of migratory birds who feast on the brine shrimp and flies that thrive there. http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/IOTD/view.php?id=88929
