Latest Arctic projects
Several new projects have been established to support AMAP’s ongoing assessments of Arctic pollution and climate issues under the Icelandic Chairmanship of the Arctic Council (2019-2021). They include new work on mercury, human health, climate-contaminants interactions, short-lived climate forcers, Arctic climate trends, and climate-ecosystem interactions.
As well as informing the Arctic Council, this work contributes to global efforts under, e.g., the Stockholm and Minamata Conventions, the UNFCCC/IPCC and other international processes that rely on sound, independent scientific knowledge to inform decision-making.
