In the framework of its Polar Initiative, the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation, Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research, and International Arctic Science Committee (IASC) in collaboration with the Oceaographic Institute present the Scientific Symposium: From Arctic to Antarctic ‘The Cold is Getting Hot!’
The symposium will bring together around 100 key polar scientists and stakeholders at the Oceanographic Museum and will include round table discussions on how the polar regions are being hit hard by climate change, how the consequences of these changes will be felt far beyond the poles and why this is of direct concern to all of us. This symposium is eagerly awaited as it will bring together the Arctic and Antarctic scientific communities in a single dialogue.
This event, which will take place in person and will also be available to stream online, is organised in collaboration with the Oceanographic Institute, Prince Albert I of Monaco Foundation and is recognised as an action of the United Nations Decade of Ocean Sciences for Sustainable Development.
