Protection of the Arctic Marine Environment (PAME)

Protection of the Arctic Marine Environment (PAME) is an international initiative under the Arctic Council focused on preserving the Arctic region’s unique ecosystems. It promotes sustainable use of marine resources, minimizes environmental impacts from activities like shipping and oil exploration, and enhances cooperation among Arctic nations. PAME develops guidelines, policies, and scientific research to address challenges such as pollution, climate change, and habitat protection. Its goal is to ensure the Arctic remains healthy and resilient for future generations while allowing responsible development.
