Arctic amplification

The Arctic is experiencing disproportionately higher temperature increases compared to the rest of the planet, triggering a series of cascading effects known as Arctic amplification. This rapid warming is not only destabilising the delicate balance of the Arctic ecosystem, but is having profound implications for global climate patterns, human populations and wildlife. The phenomenon is largely attributed to positive feedback mechanisms that exacerbate the effects of greenhouse gas emissions.
