🌊❄️ Contrary to popular belief, melting sea ice is not simplifying Arctic shipping routes. It’s making them more challenging. On this Arctic Sea Ice Day, it's crucial to address some common misconceptions about climate change and sea ice in the Arctic.

This increased ice thickness reduces the safe shipping season in several key areas, including the Beaufort Sea and the M’Clure Strait. As climate communicators, it's our responsibility to share accurate information and debunk myths that can lead to misguided expectations and policies. Supporting youth activists and climate justice efforts is essential in our fight against climate misinformation.

The member countries of the Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation (CAREC Program) face severe climate impacts: water scarcity, extreme weather, and food insecurity. This publication proposes strategies to drive a coordinated climate action to address these challenges and strengthen the countries' resilience. https://ow.ly/f52Y50RtnUf

CAREC highlights the urgent need for coordinated action, focusing on energy transition, water management, climate-smart agriculture, sustainable transport, and resilient cities. The program aims to mobilize financial resources and foster regional cooperation. Establishing a high-level Climate Change Steering Committee and including climate change as a crosscutting priority in its 2030 Strategy demonstrates CAREC’s commitment to a sustainable future. #ClimateAction #Sustainability #CAREC
