This book contains an inclusive compilation of perspectives about the Arctic Ocean with contributions that extend from Indigenous residents and early career scientists to Foreign Ministers, involving perspectives across the spectrum of subnational-national-international jurisdictions. The Arctic Ocean is being transformed with global climate warming into a seasonally ice-free sea, creating challenges as well as opportunities that operate short-to-long term, underscoring the necessity to make informed decisions across a continuum of urgencies from security to sustainability time scales. The Arctic Ocean offers a case study with lessons that are especially profound at this moment when humankind is exposed to a pandemic, awakening a common interest in survival across our globally-interconnected civilization unlike any period since the Second World War. This second volume in the Informed Decisionmaking for Sustainability series reveals that building global inclusion involves common interests to address changes effectively “for the benefit of all on Earth across generations.”

The Arctic is now experiencing some of the most rapid and severe climate change on earth. Over the next 100 years, climate change is expected to accelerate, contributing to major physical, ecological, social, and economic changes, many of which have already begun. Changes in arctic climate will also affect the rest of the world through increased global warming and rising sea levels. Arctic Climate Impact Assessment was prepared by an international team of over 300 scientists, experts, and knowledgeable members of indigenous communities. The report has been thoroughly researched, is fully referenced, and provides the first comprehensive evaluation of arctic climate change, changes in ultraviolet radiation and their impacts for the region and for the world. It is illustrated in full color throughout. The results provided the scientific foundations for the ACIA synthesis report - Impacts of a Warming Arctic - published by Cambridge University Press in 2004.

There are significant challenges in acquiring and presenting an integrated understanding of the impact of changing methane emissions on Arctic climate. The approach taken in this report is to first present the group of chapters that deal with natural and anthropogenic methane sources, then present chapters that address atmospheric concentrations (as the atmosphere integrates emissions from all sources) and finally to present the results of modelling work that explicitly evaluates how changing sources will influence atmospheric concentrations and climate. As per the mandate to the Methane Expert Group, the scope of analysis is primarily Arctic-focused. While some AMAP assessments use a delineation of the Arctic region as defined by AMAP (land and marine areas north of the Arctic Circle, and north of 62°N in Asia and 60°N in North America, modified to include the marine areas north of the Aleutian chain, Hudson Bay, and parts of the North Atlantic Ocean including the Labrador Sea; AMAP 2011a, Fig. 1.1), for this assessment, no specific definition of an Arctic boundary was assumed and each chapter articulates boundaries suitable to the analysis within that chapter. Readers should note that while many of the chapters focus on the Arctic as a northern latitude region, where there is discussion of anthropogenic emissions of methane, the perspective is of Arctic nations as political entities, including all areas within their national borders. Given that methane is a global greenhouse gas, the technical chapters begin with an overview of the global methane budget (sources and sinks), and the role of methane as a greenhouse gas and climate forcer (Ch. 2). This provides essential background scientific information as well as the global context for understanding the subsequent chapters of the report, which are more Arctic focused. As Ch. 2 is provided for context, no key findings or conclusions are provided for that chapter. Chapters 3 and 4 summarize current understanding of the natural processes that produce methane in Arctic environments and that may lead to enhanced emissions of methane from major terrestrial (Ch. 3) and marine (Ch. 4) sources. This work assesses the available published literature on these topics, drawing on both observational studies using flux measurements of methane to the atmosphere, and modelling studies. Emissions of methane from human activity are also changing and may also be contributing to recent changes in atmospheric methane levels. An assessment of available global methane emissions inventories is provided in Ch. 5 along with information specific to Arctic nations. In addition, Ch. 5 presents two scenarios of potential future anthropogenic methane emissions. One assumes no additional methane mitigation beyond existing legislation; the other is based on maximum technically-feasible emission reductions with current abatement technologies. This scenario is global, but information specific to Arctic nations is extracted from the scenario. Chapters 6 and 7 address the issue of how atmospheric concentrations of methane respond to changing emissions. Chapter 6 presents an overview of the current atmospheric methane monitoring network over the Arctic region. Data from these sites are then analyzed and combined with previously-published information to characterize trends and changes in atmospheric methane levels over time, on seasonal and longer time scales. Isotopic and trajectory analyses are explored as potential tools for detecting changes in methane emissions from different sources. Chapter 7 more explicitly integrates information on both atmospheric methane levels and emissions by taking a top-down inverse modelling approach to assess the extent to which changes in atmospheric methane in the Arctic can be explained and reconciled with estimates of natural and anthropogenic emissions in the Arctic. This information is also used to assess whether or not the atmospheric observations provide any indic ation of a trend in Arctic methane emissions. In Ch. 8, the importance of past and potential future changes in methane emissions or concentrations on Arctic climate are discussed. In particular, the results of dedicated climate modelling experiments using the emission estimates from Ch. 3, 4, and 5 are presented, aimed at answering the overarching questions posed to the Methane Expert Group. Earth System Models are used to evaluate the benefit of anthropogenic methane emissions abatement in terms of reduced global and Arctic warming. Scenarios of natural emission change, founded on the analyses in Ch. 3 and 4, are used to calculate resulting changes in atmospheric methane concentration, allowing an estimate of warming resulting from such changes. Each of the chapters in this report address a number of more specific policy-relevant science questions than the overarching questions presented at the end of Sect. 1.1. As a guide to the scope of work undertaken as part of this assessment, and to where readers can find information of particular interest, these questions are presented in Table 1.1. Key findings that respond to the questions in Table 1.1 are presented at the end of each chapter, along with recommendations for ongoing scientific work needed to address gaps in understanding. Chapter 9 presents a synthesis of these key findings and science recommendations. The report concludes with a detailed summary of the strategies used for modelling the climate response. This annex is a common contribution to the AMAP assessments on methane (the present report) and black carbon and ozone (AMAP 2015) and has been produced to facilitate an integrated understanding of the separate climate modelling exercises undertaken by the two AMAP expert groups on short-lived climate forcers (SLCFs).

This book describes the marine ecosystem of the Barents Sea, located north of Norway and Russia as part of the Arctic Ocean. Basic knowledge is presented about components of the ecosystem from virus and bacteria via plankton and fish to seabirds through to marine mammals and their interactions with the physical environment. Ecosystem dynamics are given a prominent role in the book. Mathematical models of the plankton and important fish stocks are employed to help elucidate the interplay between populations and trophic levels. The situation regarding contaminants is reviewed, as is the newly established Norwegian plan for the management of the Barents Sea. The impact of global warming is also discussed. Ecosystem Barents Sea is written for all those with an interest in marine ecology in the arctic seas, including research institutes, governmental ecosystem management units, and natural resources organizations.

Global energy problems will remain a challenge in the coming decades. The impact of climate change and the melting of polar sea ice opening up access to offshore hydrocarbon resources in the Arctic Ocean, raises questions for both civil society and the scientific community over drilling opportunities in Arctic marine areas. Disparities in approach to the governance of oil and gas extraction in the Arctic arise from fundamental differences in histories, cultures, domestic constraints and substantive values and attitudes in the Arctic coastal states and sub-states. Differing political systems, legal traditions and societal beliefs with regard to energy security and economic development, environmental protection, legitimacy of decision making, and the ownership and respect of the rights of indigenous people, all affect how governance systems of oil and gas extraction are designed. Using a multidisciplinary approach and case studies from the USA, Norway, Russia, Canada, Greenland/Denmark and the EU, this book both examines the current governance of extraction and its effects and considers ways to enhance the efficiency of environmental management and public participation in this system.
