Arctic Environmental Protection Strategy

The Arctic Environmental Protection Strategy (AEPS) is an international effort initiated in 1991 to protect the unique environment and ecosystems of the Arctic region. It promotes cooperation among Arctic nations to prevent pollution, conserve wildlife, and manage natural resources sustainably. The strategy emphasizes scientific research, environmental monitoring, and sharing information to address challenges like climate change and industrial development. By working together, Arctic countries aim to ensure the preservation of the region's fragile environment for current and future generations.
