Co-ordinating and Co-designing the European Polar Research Area

Descripción del proyecto

Una plataforma para las acciones europeas de investigación polar

El cambio climático tiene un impacto drástico en las regiones polares, afecta la vida de los residentes y representa una amenaza para la atmósfera, el océano y el clima. La Unión Europea concede una importancia cada vez mayor a la investigación científica y la innovación en las latitudes altas y es uno de los inversores clave en la investigación polar. Como tal, es cada vez más necesaria una mayor coordinación de las acciones de investigación polar en Europa para apoyar la toma de decisiones y abordar los retos que plantea la sociedad. El proyecto EU-PolarNet 2, financiado con fondos europeos, establecerá una plataforma de coordinación que creará una red y desarrollará instrumentos de coordinación y codiseño de estrategias de acciones europeas de investigación polar. El proyecto manejará esta plataforma durante cuatro años y contribuirá al proceso de formulación de políticas.

Objetivo

With communities and ecosystems subject to multiple environmental, climatic, cultural and economic stresses, the Polar Regions truly represent the sentinel of climate change. Already now, changes in the Polar Regions are changing the lives of polar residents, and are affecting the well-being of many polar communities. Furthermore, the state of the Polar systems has far reaching effects on atmosphere, ocean and land including the change of weather pattern in Europe. Polar issues have been therefore rising up the political agenda across Europe over the past decade and the European Union and its executive body, the EC, attribute an increasing importance to science and innovation in the high latitudes and are major investors in Polar research. There is therefore an increasing need to further develop the coordination of Polar research actions in Europe to give evidence-based advice to decision makers. This must include a continued involvement of all relevant stake- and right holders to develop transdisciplinary and transnational projects to tackle societally relevant problems connected to the Polar Regions.
EU-PolarNet 2 will provide a coordination platform to co-develop strategies to advance the European Polar Research action and its contribution to the policy-making processes. It will operate as such a platform for the 4-years of the project´s lifetime. Once EU-PolarNet 2 ends, the gained experience, the established network and the developed tools to facilitate better coordination and co-design of Polar research actions will be transferred to the European Polar Coordination Office to be sustained.
The EU-PolarNet 2 consortium consist of 25 partners representing all European and associated countries with Polar research programmes and activities. This allows EU-PolarNet 2 to significantly improve the coordination and co-design of European Polar research actions but also to provide evidence-based advice on behalf of the whole European Polar community.
