Key messages from Portal Information Summaries

Our aim is to providing easy access to information on a range of scientific issues relevant to Antarctic environmental governance and management. Our Portal Information Summaries are intended to be concise, technically accurate, politically neutral and accessible to a broad audience. In addition, we have designed a set of ‘PortalGraphics’ to help convey the key messages of the summaries.

All of the infographics are based on existing Information Summaries, which can be found in our Publications section.
