Polar Symposium 2024 From Arctic to Antarctic
22.02. – 23.02.2024
Monaco

Join us at the Polar Symposium 2024 From Arctic to Antarctic: The Cold is Getting Hot! that will take place on 22 & 23 February 2024 in Monaco.

The polar symposium will convene, for the second time, leading scientists to discuss how, how fast and in what ways changes in our planet’s polar regions are affecting Earth climate, living and social systems and how this concerns us all. The event will inform management, policies and collective action in the poles and feed into processes at international and regional levels. It will serve as a landmark dialogue reaffirming the role of science in decision making and revisiting the critical role of the cryosphere in a changing climate.

The Symposium is being organised by the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation with the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR) and the International Arctic Science Committee (IASC) as co-conveners, in collaboration with the Oceanographic Institute of Monaco – the Prince Albert I Foundation, the Scientific Center of Monaco, the European Polar Board, and the World Economic Forum.

Recognising their expertise and work on the subject, a number of key partners and experts will feed the talks, including the participation of early career scientists. The Symposium is privileged as an in-person event and hosted at the Oceanographic Museum of Monaco and available on streaming. Convened under the presidency of HSH Prince Albert II of Monaco, it will reassert the priority of the Foundation for polar regions and amplify the call for dialogue across sciences and policies.

L’initiative Forests and Communities (FCI) a pour objectif de soutenir la conservation des écosystèmes forestiers par l’action des peuples autochtones et des communautés locales et par le développement d’un réseau d’acteurs apportant une expertise multidisciplinaire. 🌳

FCI a été créée en 2022 par quatre partenaires fondateurs travaillant sur des aspects complémentaires de la conservation des forêts : la Fondation Prince Albert de Monaco, la Commission mondiale du droit de l’environnement de l’UICN, la Fédération internationale des gardes forestiers et la Global Forest Coalition. Plus tard dans l’année, le Forum international des peuples autochtones sur la biodiversité a rejoint la FCI en tant que cinquième partenaire.

The Forests and Communities Initiative (FCI) is dedicated to support conservation of forests ecosystems through the action of indigenous peoples and local communities and through the development of a supporting network of actors providing a multidisciplinary set of expertise. 🌳

FCI was created in 2022 by 4 founding partners working on complementary facets of forest conservation; the Prince Albert of Monaco Foundation, the IUCN World Commission on Environmental Law, the International Ranger Federation and Global Forest Coalition. Later that year the International Indigenous Forum on Biodiversity joined the FCI as its fifth partner.
