Core Viewpoint - The research highlights the significant impact of polar regions on global sustainable development goals (SDGs), emphasizing the need for increased international attention and action due to the unique challenges posed by climate change in these areas [1][2]. Group 1: Climate Change and Its Effects - The polar regions are highly sensitive to climate change, with the Arctic experiencing a temperature increase of 0.68°C every decade, which is significantly higher than the global average [1]. - Melting glaciers and ice caps in polar regions directly affect sustainable water resource management and contribute to rising sea levels, threatening ecological security [1]. Group 2: Connection to Sustainable Development Goals - All 17 SDGs are potentially influenced by the polar regions, with the highest correlation found with SDG13 (Climate Action), followed by SDG6 (Clean Water and Sanitation), SDG15 (Life on Land), and SDG14 (Life Below Water) [2]. - The current UN SDGs framework does not adequately address the unique challenges and global impacts of polar sustainable development, suggesting a need for expansion of the existing goals and indicators [2]. Group 3: Recommendations for Improvement - The research proposes enhancing network infrastructure and Earth observation systems to develop a comprehensive, interoperable polar data platform for assessing and optimizing sustainable development goals [3]. - It also emphasizes the importance of strengthening basic scientific research in polar regions to better understand critical changes in the cryosphere and improve early warning capabilities for system risks [3].
