The Arctic region plays a crucial role in climate management in other parts of the world. Global warming and climate change affect the state of many natural ecosystems and thus-the state of the biosphere as a whole, the biosphere conditions of human existence. The article was analyzed the sources of risks of polar regions due to the warming of the Arctic climate. Modern scientific research related to climate change, which is the determining cause of the warming of the Earth’s climate are analyzed. Climate change caused by the industrial development of mankind has taken place too quickly over the past 100 years, and modern society can no longer ignore this problem. There is a risk of further increase in average temperature, so, by 2050, a special danger is the destruction of ice sheets. The author highlighted the risks affecting climate change and among them CO2 is the main anthropogenic factor caused by the burning of fossil fuels. Measures are proposed to solve the problem to continue the sustainable development of the Arctic territories and reduce the degree of risk.
