SCAR is one of three official observers to the Antarctic Treaty and has provided independent scientific advice to the Treaty since it was ratified in 1961. This Committee (SC-ATS) provides scientific representation at the meetings of the Committee for Environmental Protection and the Antarctic Treaty Consultative Meetings, organises and prepares the scientific advice requested by the Antarctic Treaty System and briefs SCAR Officers and Committees on Treaty deliberations.
