Nations to Meet in Hiroshima to Discuss Peaceful Use of Antarctica
The Antarctic Treaty Consultative Meeting, which governs the peaceful use of Antarctica, started in Hiroshima on Monday. The main topics of discussion include measures to address the surge in tourists and the impact of climate change — such as the retreat of sea ice — on the ecosystem. This marks the third time the meeting has been held in Japan and the first time in 32 years since it was last held in Kyoto in 1994. The meeting will continue through May 21.
