ZEESA - How to develop zero emission energy systems for the Arctic

The ZEESA research project aims to provide knowledge on how best to develop integrated renewable energy systems for demanding Arctic conditions. The project is a "Competence-building project for business" that works across natural science and social science methods.

ACCEPT: Aerosols, Cloud Changes and Energy transport into the Polar domain: The role of feedbacks to the local climate response

The Arctic is warming more than twice as fast as the rest of the world, with dramatically decreasing trends in sea-ice and snow cover (AMAP,2017). This ‘Arctic amplification’ of global warming is a feature of human-made climate change, but its causes and consequences are not fully understood.

COP30: Climate Effect of Black Carbon and Methane in the Arctic. Scientific Revisions, Policy Decisions

Black carbon (BC) and other short-lived climate forcers emitted within the Arctic and at lower latitudes are making a significant contribution to warming and have been a subject of study in recent years by Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Programme (AMAP). How the contribution of BC to Arctic climate change is likely to evolve in future is unclear, both due to uncertainties in future emission scenarios and given the complexity of the climate system and of the effects of different atmospheric pollutants, many of which are co-emitted.
