Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Program

The Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Program (AMAP) is a key initiative established by the Arctic Council to track environmental changes in the Arctic region. It focuses on assessing the impacts of climate change and pollution on the Arctic's ecosystems and communities. AMAP gathers scientific data and provides reports on issues like melting ice, biodiversity loss, and human health. Its work helps inform policymakers and the public about the urgent challenges facing the Arctic, aiming to promote sustainable development and protect the unique environment and cultures in this fragile region.
