Antarctica’s economy is non-traditional, governed by the Antarctic Treaty System, which prohibits commercial exploitation of resources. Scientific research and limited eco-tourism are the primary activities. Government policies and regulations focus on environmental preservation and international cooperation. There is no permanent society, but visiting researchers and temporary personnel have access to structured facilities. Education is not relevant to the continent itself, but climate research conducted there informs global strategies. Healthcare is basic and available only at research stations. Climate change significantly impacts Antarctica, influencing global sea levels and weather patterns.
