The Nordic North with Futurist Hanna Lakkala

by on December 29, 2025
What happens when the most remote region on Earth becomes one of the most strategically important? In this compelling episode of FOBtv futurist and host Kevin Benedict sits down with Nordic North Futurist Hanna Lakkala to explore the rapidly changing reality of the arctic region. From vanishing seasonal rhythms in Lapland to the surge in Arctic tourism, from Finland’s deep sauna culture to the geopolitics of fighter jets, rare earth minerals, icebreakers, NATO expansion, and Greenland’s sudden strategic spotlight, this conversation reveals how climate change, great-power competition, and human resilience are colliding at the top of the world.
