Rapidly Warming Arctic Endangers Global Seed Vault
The Global Seed Vault, located in Svalbard, is crucial for preserving crop diversity and ensuring global food security. With the Arctic warming faster than anywhere else on Earth, the vault’s importance becomes even more critical as the world’s climate continues to change. While Svalbard’s history was built on coal mining, it is the impact of burning coal that now threatens the region’s future, making the preservation of the Seed Vault all the more urgent.
