对北极污染和该地区日益增长的环境压力的关注导致1991年制定了北极环境保护战略，这是一项环极协定，重点是环境监测、北极环境保护以及后来的环境可持续性（见环境署）。在北极理事会之下设立了若干具有具体环境职权的工作组。其中一个小组是北极监测评估方案（AMAP），该方案广泛报告了放射性物质、汞/重金属和持久性有机污染物等污染物，特别是与人类健康和生态系统接触有关的污染物（https：//www.hg.org/hg/hg/hg/）。amap。no/）。海洋垃圾和微塑料是一个日益受到关注的领域，一项评估这些污染物及其对食物网影响的计划正在进行中（https：//litterandmicroplastics. amap。no/）。这包括通过北极海洋环境保护工作组（PAME）协调对海洋塑料垃圾进行广泛评估，该工作组是北极理事会的另一个工作组，其职权范围涵盖海洋环境的保护和可持续利用。
Concern about pollution in the Arctic and growing environmental pressures across this region gave rise to the Arctic Environmental Protection Strategy in 1991, a circumpolar agreement focused on environmental monitoring, protection of the Arctic environment and later, environmental sustainability (see UNEP). A number of working groups with specific environmental remits were created that operate under the Arctic Council. One of these groups, the Arctic Monitoring Assessment Programme (AMAP) reports widely on pollutants like radioactive substances, mercury/heavy metals, and persistent organic pollutants, particularly with regard to human health and ecosystem exposure (https://www. amap. no/). A growing area of concern is marine litter and microplastics, and a programme to assess these contaminants and their impact on food webs is underway (https://litterandmicroplastics. amap. no/). This has included an extensive assessment of marine plastic litter coordinated through the Protection of the Arctic Marine Environment (PAME), another Arctic Council working group whose remit covers the protection and sustainable use of the marine environment.
