Abstract
"Objective:
Climate variability and change, and increases in UV radiation, have become
important issues in the Arctic over the past few decades. It has become imperative to
examine possible future impacts on the environment and its living resources, on human
health, and on relevant economic sectors. The Arctic Climate Impact Assessment is
expected to lead to useful information for the nations of the Arctic region, their economy,
resources, and peoples.
ACIA Products:
Three major volumes will be completed by 2004 for submission to the Arctic
Council through AMAP, CAFF, and IASC; they are a peer-reviewed scientific volume, a
synthesis document summarizing results, and a policy document providing
recommendations for coping and adaptation measures." /.../
