Who prepared the Arctic Climate Impact Assessment reports?
The ACIA was launched in 2000 and has been conducted as a joint initiative between the Arctic Council and the International Arctic Science Committee (IASC). The ACIA is managed through its Secretariat office, located at the International Arctic Research Center at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. Funding has been provided by the U.S. National Science Foundation and the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. More than 300 scientists and six arctic indigenous peoples’ organizations have participated in preparing the reports. Another 225 additional researchers not directly affiliated with the ACIA served as peer-reviewers for the scientific and synthesis reports to ensure scientific quality and accuracy.
