The Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR)’s research programme Ant-ICON (Integrated Science to Inform Antarctic and Southern Ocean Conservation) is pleased to announce an interdisciplinary workshop on The Future of Antarctic and Southern Ocean Conservation in a Changing Climate.
This workshop aims to develop a roadmap providing the science needed to address Antarctic conservation priorities, focusing on those identified by the Committee for Environmental Protection (CEP). It seeks to strengthen the science-policy interface and drive tangible conservation progress through interdisciplinary collaboration between social and natural sciences.
Topics:
- State of knowledge in Antarctic conservation, including gaps and challenges
- Available conservation tools
- Science-policy-practice interface
- Human activities and their impacts in Antarctica, e.g., tourism, national operator activities
- Freedom of scientific research
This event will also serve as an opportunity to reflect on Ant-ICON's challenges and successes over the past few years and explore its legacy, including in preparation for the upcoming International Polar Year (IPY).
Date: 7-9 July 202
Venue: Académie du Climat, 2 Place Baudoyer, 4e arrondissement, Paris (in-person only)
