The Arctic Ocean is under increasing pressure from climate change, with sea ice loss as well as ocean acidification, warming, and freshening occurring more rapidly in the Arctic compared to the rest of the global ocean. This event brought together a range of voices to discuss what is needed to protect this vulnerable ecosystem. They identified how best to move science forward in order to allow Indigenous and local communities to adapt to changing conditions, and raised critical considerations for mitigation and future sustainable use of the Arctic Ocean. Dr. Gosia Smieszek-Rice, Deputy Secretary at AMAP, moderated this event. Speakers included Dr. Helen Findlay, Plymouth Marine Laboratory; Dr. Rolf Rødven, AMAP; Pen Hadow, 90 North Foundation; and Dr. Toste Tanhua, GEOMAR Helmholtz-Centre for Ocean Research Kiel.
