Climate Change Research in the Arctic - Future Challenges, Svalbard, 25 - 27 July 2003 Conference statement and recommendations by the Science Committee

The conference on climate change in the Arctic was organised as a meeting point between scientists and high level science policy makers to address the many pressing issues concerning ongoing and future climate changes in the Arctic. This combination of attendants was very fruitful and led to a broad overview of the knowledge status, the research challenges and a number of research policy measures. This was brought about by a common understanding that climate change in the Arctic is an issue of urgency that deserves broad attention. This document contains the scientific motivation for the conference, a summary of the main scientific issues which were addressed, conclusions which were obtained concerning the research status on climate change in the Arctic, as well as a series of challenges and recommendations for future research and research policy.
