This press conference was recorded at AGU's 2024 Annual Meeting on 10 December 2024.

The 2024 NOAA Arctic Report Card catalogs the impacts of climate change on a vital region that is warming more than three times faster than the rest of the world. This year’s report features timely updates on air temperature, sea ice extent, ocean temperature, plankton blooms, snow cover, tundra/ forest greenness, Greenland ice sheet and precipitation. New this year are essays on caribou, ice seals and the work of an Indigenous research center to conduct environmental observations. The report will highlight new records in air and sea surface temperature, permafrost warming and their impacts on Arctic communities and communities well beyond the Arctic. Now in its 19th year, the NOAA Arctic Report Card is authored by 97 scientists in 11 countries and is vital to decision-makers working to build climate resilience.
