Recommendation 12

Antarctica is warming at a rate up to twice that of the global average, disrupting its ecosystems, ocean dynamics, atmospheric processes, and ice systems. Despite its crucial role in regulating Earth’s heat balance and influencing global climate, the continent remains under-observed. The far-reaching implications of climate change in Antarctica necessitate immediate, coordinated, and sustained action at both national and international levels to mitigate these impacts and adapt to future changes.
