The International Polar Foundation : The International Polar Foundation Bridging the science-society divide Boulder, Colorado, 21 July 2005

The International Polar Foundation : IPF Objectives To raise public awareness with regard to: The importance of Polar Research efforts and his contribution to understanding Climate Change. The role of the Polar Regions in the dynamics of the World climate system The vulnerability of the Polar Regions to climate change and pollution. The role of scientific education in environmentally responsible development. Inform, Educate, Demonstrate, Cooperate

The International Polar Foundation : IPF Approach Raise the scientific capital of society by improving access to scientific education and information Develop training and educational skills to help us adapt to the needs of the new energy economy Promote investment in research Develop networks for cooperation with like minded organisations Demonstrate new technologies Communicate on sustainable development issues Inform, Educate, Demonstrate, Cooperate

The International Polar Foundation : The Polar Regions Early warning systems Amplifiers of warming trends Custodians of past climate record and deep time Habitat for threatened fauna and flora Home to Arctic indigenous peoples Menace to low-lying regions Beacons of wilderness, purity and preservation values Communicating, monitoring, modelling
