The aim of the conference is to create syner gies between the human population and environmental reactions, with a speci fic focus on the Arctic region. In addition to scientific cooperation, the Observer States, like Italy, can play a key role in raising awareness beyon d the Arctic Circle and drawing attention to the importance Arctic climate change, and how it can affect areas outside of the Arctic.
