Take ACTION
STEP ONE
What’s Happening in the Arctic?
Today’s task: Find out more about what’s happening in the Arctic — and why the whole world should care.
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 TWO
What happens in the Arctic doesn’t stay there.
Todays task: Find out how the Arctic is ramping up risks in climate vulnerable countries everywhere.
Rapid Arctic warming and melt are amplifying existing threats to Arctic communities, as well climate-vulnerable areas around the world.
STEP THREE
Demand Climate Action
Today’s task: Raise your voice to demand world leaders take climate action NOW.
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.
