The G7 recognizes the significant impact of climate change on the Arctic and Antarctic regions, and the increasingly important role polar research plays in this regard. Therefore, the G7 supports continued international cooperation in the field of polar research and efforts to launch the International Science & Infrastructure for Synchronous Observation (Antarctica InSync), to allow for a circumpolar assessment of the connections between ice, ocean, climate, environment, and biodiversity. Polar observations can be strengthened by capitalizing on technological developments, sharing various data, and developing human resources and capacity through international observation platforms such as Arctic and Antarctic research vessels.
