- Arctic’s waters have less than one million square kilometres of sea ice by 2030.
- Thus, the first ice-free day in the Arctic Ocean could occur before 2030.
- In the last 40 years, the sea ice extent has been decreasing by 12.6% each decade.
- This pace of decline is unmatched by any point in at least the last 1,500 years.
