Summary:

Since 2021, an interim planning group has been engaging in early discussions to plan for a 5th International Polar Year in 2032-2033. Aside from the International Arctic Science Committee (IASC) and SCAR, the initial planning efforts for the 5th IPY are currently supported by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), International Science Council (ISC), University of the Arctic, International Arctic Social Sciences Association (IASSA), the Association of Polar Early Career Scientists (APECS) and other partners worldwide representing both poles. This paper provides an update on discussions to date and on next steps.
