Description

This European Commission funding opportunity supports trans- and multi-disciplinary research into the processes, impacts, and governance challenges of an ice-free Arctic. The program aims to improve scientific understanding of Arctic system changes, enhance monitoring and modeling capabilities, and inform policy for sustainable development, risk management, and international cooperation. Projects should address uncertainties related to the timing and consequences of Arctic sea ice loss, strengthen regional climate models, and identify transformative pathways for mitigation and adaptation. The initiative encourages the integration of Indigenous and local knowledge, international collaboration, and open data practices, contributing to European and global scientific and policy efforts.
