By sharing data and resources, IARC helps advance knowledge about Arctic processes, which is vital for informing policy decisions, environmental management, and addressing global climate issues. The commission emphasizes scientific excellence and international partnership to ensure comprehensive research that benefits both the Arctic and the broader global community.
