On September 24, International Polar Year 2007-2008 (IPY) launches its sixth International Polar Day, this time focusing on people and community and cultural well-being, health issues and the role of the Arctic in the global economy. This Polar Day occurs at a time when the combined effects of modern climatic, environmental, economic and social change challenge the resilience of many Arctic communities and when polar inhabitants, researchers, and the public view the future of the polar regions from new societal, humanistic and environmental perspectives.
Radio events streamed from the Arctic will connect researchers, communities and classrooms from Canada and Greenland to Zambia, Brazil and Australia. Events will also include global on-line discussions about communities, local classroom discussions and activities and a global virtual balloon launch.
