Description
The Arctic Footprint and Policy Assessment (AFPA) project provides an assessment of Arctic environmental impacts from various activities that originate in the EU or are a result of the activities of EU citizens, and suggests areas where the EU can address this footprint today and in the future (up to 2030). The focus is on improving the environmental effectiveness of existing EU policies across nine distinct issue areas, including: 1) biodiversity, 2) chemicals and transboundary pollution, 3) climate change, 4) energy, 5) fisheries, 6) forestry, 7) tourism, 8) transport and 9) Arctic indigenous and local livelihoods. Detailed policy options associated with each issue area are provided to inform a new Arctic Policy for the EU. This report summary provides a brief overview of each section of the full 120-page AFPA report.
