UNEP/GRID-Arendal, with financial support from the Research Council of
Norway (Forskningsradet), prepared this set of posters for the
International Polar Year (IPY). This project supports the education,
outreach, and communication efforts of IPY. The posters present polar
science issues to create awareness of IPY and its research activities.
The posters address the question: "Why, and how, are the polar regions
and polar research important to all people on Earth?" These posters
present and illustrate a broad sample of polar issues and facts - they
are a "textbook" for your wall.
There are five posters, with high-school age students as the main target
group. Each poster stands on its own, but is recognizable as part of the
series through the common design and elements. All the posters include
illustrations and text highlighting the human dimension of the poster
theme - showing how people are affected by polar science and issues and
why they should care. The poster titles are:
- The Polar Regions,
- Climate Change and the Poles,
- Polar People,
- Research in the Polar Regions, and
- Biodiversity and the Poles.
Posters are available in high resolution and accessible formats, in
English and Norwegian texts. For more information and to download the
posters and graphics, please go to:
