Location: Montréal, Canada
The From Knowledge to Action International Polar Year (IPY) 2012 Conference features the
latest polar research results from global leaders in Arctic and Antarctic science. Endorsed by
theWorldMeteorological Organization (WMO) and the International Council for Science (ICSU)
as the third and final conference to close IPY 2007 – 2008, the From Knowledge to Action
Conference will be hosted in Montréal, Canada from April 22-27, 2012.
From Knowledge to Action will bring together Arctic and Antarctic researchers, policy- and
decision-makers, and a broad range of interested parties from academia, industry, nongovernment,
education, Arctic communities, and circumpolar indigenous peoples. Together
these groups will address challenges, share and apply knowledge of the polar regions and
discuss opportunities and solutions for adapting to global change.
The IPY 2012 Conference will contribute to the translation of new polar scientific findings into
an evidence-based agenda for action that will influence global decisions, policies and outcomes
over the coming years.
