520 |a"Although the Arctic contains few large‑scale industrial development projects and the region is sparsely populated, it is under threat from environmental stresses largely originating in distant southern regions. Three main interrelated issues are affecting the Arctic environment: climate change, changes in biological diversity and the accumulation of toxic substances. The Arctic appears to be both a harbinger of environmental change and a key determinant of that change, particularly as it relates to climate. This Background Paper briefly describes some of the environmental issues impacting the Arctic and lists some of the efforts being made internationally and in Canada to protect and conserve the Arctic environment"--Introduction, page 1.
