Arctic Basecamp

Arctic Basecamp was created by Executive Director, Professor Gail Whiteman (Professor of Sustainability at the University of Exeter, UK), “to speak science to power”. It is a vehicle to bring a message of global risk from Arctic change to world leaders at the World Economic Forum in Davos. The Arctic Basecamp tent is now an established feature at the WEF Annual Meeting in Davos and has also pitched at COP26 in Glasgow, Glastonbury Festival and the Arctic Circle Assembly.
