Abstract/Summary

The polar regions are crucial to regulate global climate. However, both regions are quickly changing due to climate change. With environmental changes succeeding at a fast pace, there is an increasing need for public awareness and action to tackle these complex and interdisciplinary challenges. The importance of education and outreach to raise awareness among civil society was recently highlighted during the Paris Call for Glaciers and Poles signed in Paris. In this opinion piece, we highlight the importance of Early Career Researchers (ECRs) as emerging professionals working in several disciplines. ECRs are an essential role regarding the enhancement of environmental education and outreach activities about polar regions, bridging the gap between the traditionally complex scientific language and the public.
