Küresel sıcaklığın artması ve Kuzey Kutbu buzlarının erimesi, uluslararası düzeyde güç ilişkilerini değiştirmiştir. Öte yandan yeni deniz taşımacılığı yollarının keşfi, Batı ile Doğu arasındaki iletişim yolunun kısalması, stratejik kaynakların keşfi, tartışmalı sınırlar konusu gibi durumlar, Kuzey Kutbu’nun jeopolitik ağırlığının artmasına ve uluslararası sistemde yeni bir jeopolitik eksenin ortaya çıkmasına neden oluşturur. Bu nedenler, uluslararası yeni bir jeopolitik rekabetin kapısını aralar. Bölgede ‎ aralanan bu kapıda, jeopolitik rekabetin artması neticesinde, Kuzey Kutbu jeopolitik araştırmalarının odak noktası haline gelmiştir. Bu araştırmamızda iklim değişikliğinin Kuzey Kutbu’ndaki etkisini, meydana gelen değişikliklerin jeopolitik durumuna tesirini, ABD, Çin ve Rusya’nın bu bölgedeki stratejisini inceliyerek, yakın gelecekte Kuzey Kutbu’nun nasıl bir jeopolitik eksene sahip olacağını konu edinmektedir.
