AMAP is an international organization established in 1991 to implement components of the Arctic Environmental Protection Strategy (AEPS).
Now a programme group of the Arctic Council, AMAP’s current objective is “providing reliable and sufficient information on the status of, and threats to, the Arctic environment, and providing scientific advice on actions to be taken in order to support Arctic governments in their efforts to take remedial and preventive actions relating to contaminants”.
