Since its inception in 2006, the Arctic Report Card, supported by the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), has provided yearly, authoritative updates on the state of the Arctic, a region experiencing some of the most rapid and consequential climate-driven changes on the planet. The Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Programme (AMAP) has supported this work, by facilitating the independent peer review of the report, drawing on AMAP’s international network presently numbering more than 800 experts.
The 2025 Arctic Report Card is authored by 112 scientists from 13 countries, and presents new findings documenting ongoing trends, record-setting events, and emerging issues in Arctic lands and seas. Record heat, record low sea ice, shrinking glaciers, continued warming of the ocean and unprecedented extreme weather events are just some of the disruptive changes reported that are transforming this once reliably frozen region into a warmer, wetter, and unpredictable world.
