Description
Summary:CHARTER, ECOTIP and FACE-IT are EU-funded, Horizon 2020 projects that aim at contributing to a better understanding of how the several drivers of Arctic change are impacting on ecosystems and, in turn, on Arctic communities, especially in connection with the observed Arctic ice shelf loss. These three projects focus respectively on Arctic ecosystems on land, at sea and in the interface between land and ocean (fjords) while exploring and identifying potential opportunities for co-management to adapt to the ongoing changes. We believe that already the preliminary results deriving from these research projects are highly relevant for the strategies being developed by the European Union and the work of other international organisations in relation to the climate change and biodiversity crises. This policy briefing was jointly produced by the H2020 funded projects ECOTIP, FACE-IT and CHARTER, with support from the EU Polar Cluster.
