Arctic Climate Change: Impacts and Urgent Call for Action

The Arctic Climate Impact Assessment Group reports rapid changes in the Arctic due to global warming, threatening polar bears and fisheries, and introducing new health hazards. Melting ice sheets and rising sea levels could devastate low lying regions. The WWF warns that a warmer Arctic might disrupt the Gulf Stream, affecting Europe's weather and marine life. Eight Arctic countries contribute over 30% of global carbon emissions, prompting calls for urgent action.
