Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Programme

The Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Programme (AMAP) is a scientific initiative that tracks environmental changes in the Arctic region. It gathers data on pollution, climate change, and ecosystem health to understand how human activities and natural processes impact the area. By providing policymakers with accurate information, AMAP helps promote sustainable development, protect indigenous communities, and address environmental threats like melting ice and rising temperatures. Its work is crucial for understanding the rapidly changing Arctic and ensuring informed decisions to preserve this sensitive and vital region.
