Description
The Arctic sea ice has been melting because of global warming caused by greenhouse gases,
particularly CO2, whose main source of emission has been heavy consumption of fossil
energy for over two centuries. This phenomenon, if it continues, will have a wide range of
devastating environmental impacts on the entire plant, including rising sea-levels to affect all
the countries sharing a coastline with open seas, including all the APEC economies, and
worsening global warming. This report offers an account on the major implications of
the Arctic sea ice’s melting for, particularly, the APEC economies.
