The Arctic Environment and Climate Change
Many of the Arctic Council issues cut across the mandates of the six Arctic Council Working Groups. This page presents issues related to environment and climate, with links to relevant work across the Working Groups.
The evidence of global warming is in no place more obvious than in the Arctic region. The Arctic has warmed rapidly during the last four decades. The magnitude of temperature increase in the Arctic is twice as large as the global increase. The effect of Arctic climate change will have profound local, regional and global implications.
