On September 28, 2016, the Administration will host the first-ever White
House Arctic Science Ministerial, bringing together leaders from foreign
governments around the world to expand joint collaborations focused on
Arctic science, research, observations, monitoring, and data-sharing.
In conjunction with the Ministerial, the White House is issuing a
call-to-action for individuals, organizations, and institutions from all
sectors to take new, specific, and measurable steps to help all people
better understand, adapt to, and address the changing conditions in the
Arctic. In particular, new work could include actions that align with
the four key themes of the Ministerial:
- Understanding Arctic-Science Challenges and their Regional and Global
Implications. - Strengthening and Integrating Arctic Observations and Data Sharing.
- Applying Expanded Scientific Understanding of the Arctic to Build
Regional Resilience and Shape Global Responses. - Using Arctic Science as a Vehicle for Science, Technology,
Engineering, and Math (STEM) Education and Citizen Empowerment.
Organizers are asking the Arctic Community to respond to the call to action
to address the changing conditions of the Arctic. If applicable,
responses may be included in material, similar to the fact sheet for the
2015 White House Science Fair, released in conjunction with the White
House Arctic Science Ministerial.
