Abstract The Arctic waters are characterized by special geographical location and fragile ecological environment, contributing to the change of global climate. The study on the development trend of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) on the high seas in Arctic waters has significant importance of strategic value. The practice of MPAs on the high seas indicates that the number of MPAs on the high seas will continue to grow, even at a low rate, global treaty which imposes restrictions on MPAs on the high seas will be brought into force, and relations of supervision and cooperation between coastal states and user states on the high seas will become more prominent. The states and international organizations make explorations in the MPAs on the high seas in Arctic waters, which corresponds to the development trend of MPAs on the high seas. China should actively participate in relevant international activities, in order to enhance China's discourse power concerning international order.
