INTERACT

Lead organisation: Lund University (Consortium)

International Network for Terrestrial Research and Monitoring in the Arctic, including community based monitoring citizen science.

Policy uptake explanation

Although it is difficult to document decisions made as a result of INTERACT high-level activities, it can be speculated quite securely that research and monitoring activities at northern research stations and INTERACT scientists contributed importantly to climate impacts assessments such as Ozone Depletion Effects, ACIA and SWIPA and IPCC that together resulted historically in the Montreal Protocol and its Amendments, and recently, the agreement of 195 countries at the Paris meeting to limit carbon emissions. INTERACT is therefore, facilitating action on societally-relevant issues of global importance. https://cordis.europa.eu/result/rcn/189749_en.html
