Dear UN Atlas Member,
Scientists with the International Polar Year (IPY) report evidence of the widespread effects of global warming in the polar regions based on multidisciplinary research. They report that snow and ice are declining in both polar regions. This affects human livelihoods as well as plant and animal life in the Arctic, in addition to global ocean and atmospheric circulation and sea level. The State of Polar Research, the recently published IPY final report, is available in many languages.We continue to bring you important highlights from our UN partner agencies such as FAO, IMO and UNEP as well as other valued collaborators like the Census of Marine Life and the World Conservation Union (IUCN), reminding us of the important role played by intergovernmental and non-governmental agencies in the resource management of our global oceans.We count on you -- members of the UN Atlas community -- to share and exchange your knowledge of the world's oceans.If this newsletter may interest someone you know, please forward it.
Contribute to and participate in the growing Atlas community by becoming an active Member of the UN Atlas today.
Thank you for your continued support,
