The Arctic region is characterised by some of the largest
continuous intact ecosystems on the planet, but is facing
increasingly larger threats. These threats include the full range
of stressors known from other parts of the world, namely habitat
loss and fragmentation from infrastructure and industrial
development, chemical pollution, overharvesting, climate change and
invasive species infestations. Many of these pressures are mainly
globally driven, including climate change, long-range transported
pollution and even invasive species infestations. Others, such as
harvesting and fragmentation are directly under Arctic governance,
though often driven from demands outside of the Arctic region. This
report takes a broad view of existing multilateral environmental
agreements (MEAs) and examines the role of the global environment
in impacting and influencing the efficiency of Arctic MEAs in
protecting biodiversity and in sustainable development. The report
allows governing and scientific bodies of MEAs, as well as national
decision-makers, to better direct their programmes of work and
other activities to address the needs of Arctic biodiversity and
the region's local and Indigenous Peoples.
