About ISCORD

The International Symposium on Cold Region Development (ISCORD) is an interdisciplinary forum that is organized every three years by the International Association for Cold Region Development (IACORDS).

The objective of ISCORD is to provide cold region experts with opportunities to exchange experiences and knowledge across a wide range of scientific, technological and cultural disciplines with a specific focus on the development of the cold regions.

Since its establishment in 1983, ISCORD has been playing an increasingly important role in addressing challenges resulting from global warming.

The cold regions and their unique environments are a key area for studies on warming trends and demonstrating signs of climate change.

ISCORD will continue to contribute to finding solutions for the cold regions to realize sustainable development and minimize the adverse effects of climate change.
