Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Programme (AMAP)

The Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Programme (AMAP) is an international effort that focuses on studying and assessing environmental conditions in the Arctic region. Established in 1991, it collects and analyzes data on pollutants, climate change, and ecosystems to inform decision-makers and the public. AMAP aims to understand how these factors affect both the Arctic environment and the global climate, providing scientific insights for sustainable development and policy-making. By monitoring trends and impacts, AMAP plays a crucial role in addressing the unique environmental challenges facing the Arctic and its communities.
