Polar ice is Going Extinct On Our Watch!
Losing Earth’s ice shield matters because the global cascading effects are extreme weather, droughts, floods, loss of life and livelihoods. Given that Polar sea ice helps cool our earth and is critical for maintaining global climate stability, we are calling for an immediate precautionary pause on all harmful exploitations of the Central Arctic Ocean Ice Shield.
Our Call To Action
As the ice melts, corporations eager to exploit newly exposed resources and opportunities are taking an interest — that will result in activities that further impact the pristine marine ecosystem and accelerate climate change. It’s our responsibility to do what we can to protect this global climate system before we do more harm to it.
We are calling for a ten-year pause, or Moratorium, on exploitative activities in the Central Arctic Ocean. We demand a precautionary pause on:
- Fossil fuel exploitation
- Deep sea mining
- Transpolar shipping
- Seismic surveys and testing
- Nuclear activity
- Dumping of radioactive waste
- Unregulated geoengineering
- Unregulated mass tourism
Sign our petition to help us protect the existing sea ice, the unique ice-dependent species of the region, the Arctic Ocean food chain, Indigenous communities, and coastline communities — because We Can’t Plant Ice!
