Polar Ecosystem

The polar regions—Arctic and Antarctic—are icy, remote, and vital to Earth's climate. They are home to unique wildlife and help regulate the planet's temperature by reflecting sunlight.

Challenges

• Melting glaciers and ice caps
• Loss of habitat for species like polar bears and penguins
• Increased shipping and resource exploitation

Solutions

• Reducing greenhouse gas emissions globally
• Creating and enforcing protected areas
• Supporting climate research and conservation efforts
