Educational posters for the International Polar Year

Five thematic posters will be prepared for the IPY, with funding from the Norwegian Research Council

UNEP Key Polar Centre at GRID-Arendal has received support from the Research Council of Norway (Forskningsrådet) to prepare a set of posters for the International Polar Year (IPY). This project supports the education, outreach, and communication efforts of IPY. The posters will primarily present polar science and issues and secondarily create awareness of IPY and its research activities. The main objective is to try to answer the question: Why, and how, are the Polar Regions and polar research important to all people on Earth?
