Protect the Arctic

Angels in Action

The Arctic Angels are a dynamic and international collective of women, girls, and non-binary individuals between the ages of 10 and 35 who are united by a shared commitment to protect the Arctic and promote climate leadership and justice — click here to meet the Arctic Angels. They lead efforts at local, national, and international levels to advance urgent climate priorities, to protect the Arctic, and are especially motivated to secure our Global Commons, with a strong focus on advocating for the Polar ice as a critical component of climate action.

Grounded in the belief that intergenerational collaboration is essential to addressing the climate crisis, the Arctic Angels foster inclusive, intersectional, and systems-based approaches to climate solutions. Their goal is to raise awareness around how to protect the Arctic and convince world leaders to take action. With a spirit of generosity and collaboration, they are driving meaningful change across communities and borders to build a more just, resilient, and sustainable world.

While our focus is on melting ice and how to protect the Arctic, our focus is broader — preserving the stability of our global climate, safeguarding biodiversity, and ensuring a livable future for generations to come.
