The Arctic Climate Impact Assessment (ACIA) report of the Arctic Council in 2004 was the first comprehensive assessment of climate change in the Arctic.
The Arctic Climate Impact Assessment (ACIA) report of the Arctic Council in 2004 was the first comprehensive assessment of climate change in the Arctic.
It delivered dramatic messages to the world on the changes in the Arctic climate and the critical role of this region for the future development of the global climate.

These messages were confirmed in the fourth assessment report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in 2007.

The critical observation that can now be made is that many of the ACIA scientific findings underestimated the accelerating changes that are manifesting themselves just five years after the ACIA report was completed.

Data presented at the conference show that climate change has occurred at a more rapid speed than indicated by even the most pessimistic scenarios in the ACIA report and the IPCC in several areas.

The ACIA report indicated that we might experience events of complete disappearance of summer sea ice by year 2050.

The observation of withdrawal of sea ice and the expected dynamics of future changes presented at the conference indicate that such events might occur already within a decade.

Large-scale melting of the Greenland ice sheet will lead to a rise in sea levels, threatening coastal and low-lying areas around the world.

New information was presented from the Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Programme (AMAP) showing that most of the significant glaciers of the Greenland ice sheet have retreated and thinned, and calving of ice has accelerated.

This increased melt and ice discharge signifies an enlarged loss of ice from Greenland into the sea.

According to new assessments, present sea level rise is greater than earlier estimates presented by the IPCC, and recent projections indicate that the global average sea level may rise as much as 1 meter by 2100, all factors included.

Whereas for a while Antarctica seemed impervious to the warming seen by the rest of the globe, recent measurements indicate that temperatures have risen on parts of that continent as well over the past 50 years: Some studies show almost three degrees Celsius on the Antarctic Peninsula, making it the most rapidly warming region in the Southern Hemisphere.

Events, such as recent break-ups on ice shelves, highlight the effect that climate change is having on the region.
