在这个关于北极未来的视角中，我们探讨了自巴黎协议以来为减缓变暖和适应变化而采取的行动，该协议规定了不应超过的温度阈值，以避免对气候系统的危险干扰。虽然5年时间对于实施重大干预措施来说似乎太短，但考虑到我们必须采取行动的紧迫性，如果我们想避免超过1.5至<2 °C的全球变暖阈值，这实际上是一个相当长的时间跨度。需要采取的行动包括共同开展研究，探索可能的未来;支持土著权利持有人和利益攸关方关于理想未来的讨论;监测北极变化;为战略性区域适应提供资金;以及通过能源系统转型和负碳排放实现深度脱碳。我们现在正处于决定性的十年，关系到我们留给后代的未来。北极的未来取决于全球行动，反过来，北极在全球未来中发挥着关键作用。
In this perspective on the future of the Arctic, we explore actions taken to mitigate warming and adapt to change since the Paris agreement on the temperature threshold that should not be exceeded in order to avoid dangerous interference with the climate system. Although 5 years may seem too short a time for implementation of major interventions, it actually is a considerable time span given the urgency at which we must act if we want to avoid crossing the 1.5 to <2 °C global warming threshold. Actions required include co-production of research exploring possible futures;supporting Indigenous rights holders’ and stakeholders’ discourse on desired futures;monitoring Arctic change;funding strategic, regional adaptation;and, deep decarbonization through transformation of the energy system coupled with negative carbon emissions. We are now in the decisive decade concerning the future we leave behind for the next generations. The Arctic’s future depends on global action, and in turn, the Arctic plays a critical role in the global future.
