Unpacking the Polar Crisis

Watch Professor Gail Whiteman speak on the polar crisis at the World Economic Forum in Davos, January 17, 2023.

The poles are warming up to four times faster than the rest of the planet, destabilizing permafrost, ancient glaciers and sea ice. As such, the Arctic and the Antarctic are the Earth’s “canary in the coalmine”.

Explore the connection between the health of the poles and the health of the planet and how Indigenous communities are promoting harmony with nature in their way of life.

Watch the full session – with Johan Rockström, H.S.H. Prince Albert II of Monaco, Gail Whiteman and Aslak Holmberg.
