Many areas in the Arctic are vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. We observe large-scale effects on physical, biological, economic and social parameters, including ice cover, species distributions, economic activity and regional governance frameworks. Arctic living marine resources are affected in various ways. A holistic understanding of these effects requires a multidisciplinary enterprise. We synthesize relevant research, from oceanography and ecology, via economics, to political science and international law. We find that multidisciplinary research can enhance our understanding and promote new questions and issues relating to impacts and outcomes of climate change in the Arctic. Such issues include recent insights on changing spawning migrations of the North-east Arctic cod stock that necessitates revisions of socioeconomic estimates of ecosystem wealth in the Barents Sea, better integrated prediction systems that require increased cooperation between experts on climate prediction and ecosystem modelling, and institutional complexities of Arctic governance that require enhanced coordination.

北极的许多地区很容易受到气候变化的影响。我们观察到对物理、生物、经济和社会参数的大规模影响，包括冰盖、物种分布、经济活动和区域治理框架。北极海洋生物资源受到多种影响。对这些影响的整体理解需要一个多学科的企业。我们综合了相关研究，从海洋学和生态学，到经济学，再到政治学和国际法。我们发现，多学科研究可以增强我们的理解，并促进与北极气候变化的影响和结果相关的新问题和问题。
