Surface temperatures in the Arctic are more than three times higher than the global average. The communities, ecosystems, and species living in this region already experience accelerating impacts from climate change, especially those associated with extreme events. This session from the Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Program (AMAP), a working group of the Arctic Council amplifies the voices of experts, indigenous leaders, and policymakers; highlights recent information that arose too late to be included in the IPCC AR6 WG1 Report; and calls for urgent and far-reaching action to reduce the worst consequences of climate change in the Arctic and beyond.
Main presenters include Dr. Benjamin DeAngelo, Chair of AMAP and Deputy Director of NOAA’s Climate Program Office; Dr. Rolf Rødven, Executive Secretary of AMAP; Dr. Jason Box, Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland; Vera Hausner, University of Tromsø; and Lasse Bjørn, Saami Council.
