war to cooperation • Altered political areans - Arctic Council • Increased global interest • High expectations – investments • Climate change • Area of opportunities and threats The Arctic today and in the near future ?
was initiated by the Arctic Council (AC) and has been underway since early 2007. Now has to sub committees – CON and ABC. Its purpose is to support and strengthen the development of multinational engagement for sustained and coordinated pan-‐Arctic observing and data sharing systems that serve societal needs, particularly related to environmental, social, economic and cultural issues. SAON promotes the vision of well-‐defined observing networks that enable users to have access to free, open and high quality data that will realize pan-‐Arctic and global value-‐added services and provide societal benefits. Its goal is to enhance Arctic-‐wide observing activities by facilitating partnerships and synergies among existing observing and data networks (“building blocks”), and promoting sharing and synthesis of data and information. SAON also is committed to facilitating the inclusion of Arctic indigenous people in observing activities, in particular by promoting community-‐based monitoring (CBM) efforts.
First global analysis on permafrost temperature and active layer thickness development • Permafrost is warming at a Global Scale (+0.23°C/10yrs in average) • Northern regions and cold permafrost are experiencing the fastest temperature change (more than +1.5°C/10yrs in some regions) Interpritation into Knowledge
