【摘要】The effects of climate change over the Arctic region have attracted manifold interests in the last decades from several state and non-state actors. Due to a flawed institutional capacity to promote a multi-stakeholder approach in Arctic affairs, the main governance mechanism over the Arctic – the Arctic Council – is incapable of dealing with related geopolitical tensions. Based on document analysis and specialized literature, we discuss the implications and challenges of Brazil-China cooperation over Arctic affairs. We argue that both countries have multi-domain interests over the region (science, economics, environment, among others) and that such a cooperation can serve those interests. We also highlight that engaging in such an initiative can create strategic synergies for both countries and contribute to their common agenda of geopolitical rebalance of international order. Finally, we argue that such a cooperation is capable of stimulating an institutional reform of the Arctic Council towards a multi-stakeholder approach in the governance, as well as advance community interests of this polar area.

在过去几十年内，气候变化对北极地区的深刻影响使其日益成为各国或非国家行为体关注的焦点。现有北极治理机制存在缺陷，无力对剧变的地区局势进行有效规范。文章探讨了巴西与中国在北极合作的意义和挑战，认为两国在该地区都有多领域的利益（科学、经济、环境等），开展合作能够实现这些利益以及产生战略协同效应，并有助于在地缘政治上重新平衡国际秩序的共同议程。此外，两国的北极合作能够推动北极治理机制改革，进而促进北极利益攸关方的共同利益。
