Environmental changes in the Arctic and Antarctic are accelerating, mostly induced by human activities causing climate change. Not only do these changes affect local biophysical and living things in both poles - fauna and flora, [Arctic] local communities, and ecosystem functioning-, they also affect the broader climate, human (including social, economic, and cultural) and ecological systems far beyond polar regions.
Issues such as Arctic summer ice loss, permafrost thawing, Greenland ice sheet loss, or West Antarctic ice sheet disintegration which in itself holds enough ice to raise global sea levels by around 3.3. meters may then influence countries and stakeholders way beyond the riparian areas.
Taking this global approach to changes in the poles, the symposium will convene leading scientists to discuss how, how fast and in what ways changes in our planet’s polar regions are affecting Earth climate, living and social systems and how this concerns us all.
High level experts, practitioners as well as early career scientists of the two communities – Arctic, Antarctic – are brought together to offer a consolidated assessment and their views. Recommendations from the symposium will inform management and collective action in the poles to protect and enhance resilience of the ecosystems to climate change that can benefit societies and economies around the world.
The Symposium is being convened by the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation with the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR) and the International Arctic Science Committee (IASC) as co-conveners in collaboration with the Oceanographic Institute, Prince Albert I of Monaco Foundation. The event is endorsed as an action of the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development.
