The final Resolution from the State of the Arctic Conference is now
available at: http://soa.arcus.org/products-and-resources.
The State of the Arctic Conference was held 16-19 March 2010 in Miami,
Florida. The main goal of the conference was to review our understanding
of the arctic system in a time of human-induced, rapid environmental
change.
An initial draft of the Resolution was presented at the conference and
discussed during the final plenary session. This final draft was
developed with extensive input from conference participants and the
Executive Committee.
With 448 participants from 16 countries, including representatives of
Indigenous Peoples' organizations, and over 400 keynote addresses,
scientific talks, and poster presentations, the Conference Resolution
summarizes four key recommendations that emerged from the conference:
1) Develop Responses to Arctic Change and Advance Solution-Driven
Science
2) Fully Implement a Coordinated and Multi-Disciplinary Arctic
Observing System
3) Optimize Existing Efforts for Projecting Future States of the
Arctic System
4) Promote Open Access to Arctic Areas and Data
