With the 5th International Polar Year (IPY 2032–2033) already on the horizon, early career researchers have a unique opportunity to set the scientific and community agenda for a defining chapter in polar science. In preparation, we are excited to invite you to submit an abstract to AGU25 session: Early Career Priorities for the International Polar Year (C012). This session aims to provide a platform for the Arctic and Antarctic early career community to share their priorities for the IPY as a first step toward integrating those ideas into international prioritization discussions and activities for the upcoming IPY. Submissions from groups and individuals are welcome.

The Circumpolar Arctic Vegetation Science Initiative (CAVSI) is an international Arctic research effort motivated by widespread and accelerating changes to Arctic vegetation and the need to understand their ecological, climatic, and biodiversity impacts. The goal is to build an Arctic Vegetation Observing Network (AVON) that includes ground observations, mainly at existing sites where there are permanent vegetation plots, and to develop shared archives of plot vegetation and environmental data and vegetation maps - to improve models, support biodiversity assessments, and inform global change research. A key component of CAVSI is to support and train the next generation of Arctic vegetation scientists through mentorship, collaboration, and shared research.
