Mr. President, Ukraine did not “start” this war. Russia launched an unprovoked and brutal invasion claiming hundreds of thousands of lives. The Road to Peace must be built on the Truth.🇺🇸🇺🇦

🔥What happens when fire meets ice in the Arctic?❄️

#Wildfires can have a major impact on the #cryosphere as it accelerates permafrost thaw & releases massive amounts of greenhouse gases. Learn more in this interview with @CAFF_Arctic expert Dan Thompson: https://t.co/Ik0KLvnIpI

As traffic in the Arctic increases, so does the risk for accidents.

In 2011, Arctic States signed an agreement on search & rescue in the Arctic to improve cooperation & coordination in the case of incidents. Our @EPPR_Arctic Working Group supports & implements the agreement.

What is yedoma, & why does it matter?

Today's Arctic term to know is a type of permafrost. As Arctic warming & extreme events like #wildfire cause permafrost to thaw, yedoma releases large amounts of greenhouse gases- further warming the planet & exacerbating climate change.
