Arctic Forum Focus:
Tipping Points — The Arctic and Global Change

Dates:
13-15 May 2008

 Washington D.C.

The 2008 Arctic Forum included a diverse range of perspectives on the increasing pace and scale of observed environmental change in the Arctic and around the globe. Have we reached major tipping points in the arctic system?

ARCUS Annual Meeting and Arctic Forum sessions explored tipping points over different scales of time and space, as well as potential consequences, opportunities, and policy and management response strategies.
