- Details
The latest issue of IMPACT Magazine, published by the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation, is now available. The eleventh edition of the magazine focuses on inspiring stories and in-depth analysis of some of today’s most pressing environmental challenges.
A central feature of this issue is a special report titled “The Future of the Poles.” As the Arctic and Antarctica face rapid environmental change, the report brings together scientists, experts, field practitioners, and representatives of local communities to examine the profound transformations underway and the key decisions that will shape the future of these critical regions.
The special report highlights the growing urgency of addressing climate change in the polar regions, which play a vital role in regulating the Earth’s climate system and supporting unique ecosystems and communities.
Diverse Perspectives on Environmental Challenges
In addition to the polar-focused report, the magazine presents a wide range of articles and features exploring environmental issues from around the world.
Among the highlights is a photography report by Esther Horvath, documenting her Arctic expedition and presenting portraits of women scientists working during the long polar night. The feature offers a unique perspective on the dedication and resilience of researchers conducting fieldwork in extreme conditions.
The issue also includes an analysis of the Biodiversity Beyond National Jurisdiction (BBNJ) Agreement, examining the legal implications, challenges, and opportunities associated with protecting biodiversity on the high seas. The article features insights from Dr. Virginie Tassin Campanella.
Another field report highlights work by IUCN Pakistan aimed at strengthening coastal resilience, demonstrating how local initiatives can contribute to protecting vulnerable coastal ecosystems.
Readers can also explore a conversation with the recipients of the 2025 Planetary Health Awards: Dr. Gavin Schmidt, Ernst Götsch, and Emmanuel Faber, who share their perspectives on environmental leadership and the need for innovative solutions to global environmental challenges.
