New WWF Report Available - "Arctic Climate Impact Science - an Update since ACIA"

WWF
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.

WWFThe 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.
