Expand joint research efforts in polar science for informed Antarctic Treaty System decisions.
Recommendation
The UK’s expertise in polar science presents a valuable opportunity for strengthening international collaboration. We recommend expanding joint research efforts, particularly in areas such as marine conservation, land ecology, and ice sheet modelling. By contributing robust scientific data, the UK can play a pivotal role in shaping informed decisions on climate change and environmental protection within the Antarctic Treaty System.
