STEP 1
What’s Happening in the Arctic?
In less than half a century, the Arctic has warmed nearly four times faster than the rest of the world.
But what happens in the Arctic doesn’t stay in the Arctic. Each fraction of a degree in Arctic warming is having a huge impact on the whole world, from rising sea levels to more intense heat waves worldwide.
Today, take less than seven minutes to watch Arctic Basecamp founder, Prof. Gail Whiteman, explain why the melting Arctic matters for us all.
STEP 2
What happens in the poles doesn’t stay there.
STEP 3
Demand Climate Action
The world’s richest nations are most responsible for climate change. Meanwhile, the world’s poorest are the ones experiencing its most devastating effects.
This is climate injustice — and leaders of the world’s richest nations are failing to take action to address it.
Today, raise your voice and urge leaders of the G20 to act now for countries on the front lines of the climate emergency.
