Outlook for Policy Makers: The Antarctic Ice Sheet and Sea Level

This document outlines strategic priorities for understanding the Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS) and its impacts on sea-level rise due to climate change, drawn primarily from a recent collaborative science review led by the Australian Antarctic Division and includes recent updates to projections of future change. It highlights the threats posed by AIS melting to Australia and its neighbours, including in the Pacific, along with research priorities and policy recommendations.

本文件阐明了认识南极冰盖（Antarctic Ice Sheet, AIS）及其因气候变化所引发的海平面上升影响的战略优先事项，其内容主要源自澳大利亚南极局（Australian Antarctic Division）牵头开展的最新合作科学综述，并纳入了未来变化预测的最新更新内容。文件着重指出了南极冰盖消融对澳大利亚及其包括太平洋地区在内的周边国家构成的威胁，同时列明了相关研究优先事项与政策建议。
