2025 May - 24 articles

Cover Story: The paper "Arctic Warming: Cascading Climate Impacts and Global Consequences" examines the cascading effects of Arctic warming on global climate systems, ecosystems, and Indigenous communities. Synthesising recent research, it highlights feedback mechanisms—such as sea ice loss, permafrost thaw, and ocean heat transport—that accelerate warming. The paper identifies critical knowledge gaps, especially in governance and the use of Indigenous knowledge. It calls for inclusive, interdisciplinary, and transformative approaches to Arctic adaptation and global climate resilience. View this paper
