The World Wildlife Fund (WWF)'s International Arctic Programme announces
the publication of an update report on the Arctic Climate Impact
Assessment (ACIA). The report, "Arctic Climate Impact Science - an Update
since ACIA," reviews related science publications and impacts that have
been published since the original report in 2005.
The report is organized in thematic sections, each reviewing the most
relevant scientific literature published in recent years. Each section
was written by a group of authors independent of WWF and was reviewed by
an expert scientist in the respective field. A summary, based on
recommendations from the reviewers, highlights the most prominent
developments in the Arctic during a period when several key arctic
systems have experienced more rapid change than anticipated.
A conclusion section by Martin Sommerkorn and Neil Hamilton of WWF's
International Arctic Programme, interprets the relevance of the main
findings for arctic and global policymakers, and outlines a road forward
for arctic environmental protection.
