The impact of climate change is most acute at Earth’s polar regions. The Arctic and Antarctica are warming rapidly, with dramatic consequences for not only the local environment, but the wider world. This CORDIS Results Pack showcases the scientific advancements made by 13 EU-funded projects, studying polar regions, climate change and the ocean-climate-cryosphere nexus, closing important gaps linked to understanding, modelling and predicting the vulnerable components of Earth’s climate system and the biosphere.
