In fact, global #wildlife populations have decreased an average of 69 per cent in the past 50 years. #ClimateCrisis #Arctic highnorthnews.com/en/time-work-t…

Useful graphic illustration of the cascading effects in how Arctic developments do not stay in the Arctic.

"The risk that I see is the militarization of our mindset in a sense that we lose the ability to see everything which is outside the domain of military security, I have in mind climate change..." Petteri Vuorimäki Ambassador for #Arctic Affairs, Finnish MFA MFA Finland 🇫🇮 🇫🇮

For WWF Global Arctic Programme Vicki Lee Wallgren the Central Arctic Ocean Fisheries Agreement is a gem 💎 of Arctic marine environmental governance But it must be taken good care of, and more such gems will be needed to form a jewel that can protect this unique ecosystem from multiple pressures

Congratulations, Minik! A most deserved winner.

The message from NGOs to #OnePlanetPolarSummit leaders is clear.

📢 "Dear leaders, civil society will closely observe how your rhetoric & actions line up," says Jan Dusík, WWF #Arctic Governance Lead, about last week's One Planet Summit #OnePlanetPolarSummit. More #cryosphere research is great–but we also need action👇 arcticwwf.org/newsroom/featu…

We need to see ambitious goals coming out of #COP28, and even more importantly, strong action to make these goals become reality. The #Arctic doesn’t have time to waste.

The UN Climate Change #COP28 has agreed to transition away from fossil fuels 🚫 But a transition is not enough 🌡️ The #Arctic, warming faster than any place on Earth, needs fossil fuels phased out today 🚨 WWF Arctic Director Vicki Lee Wallgren comments on COP28's results 👇

A significant moment for global climate action, but not enough for the Arctic. Strong action and clear milestones are now needed if we are to preserve the delicate balance of the Arctic, ensuring both nature and climate are safeguarded for a sustainable and inclusive future.

Next week at Arctic Frontiers we launch an exciting new project to empower #ArcticYouth to shape effective climate policies in the Arctic. #YT4AF @arcticyouthnetwork @saamicouncil European Youth Parliament APECS Arctic Mayors Forum European External Action Service - EEAS 🇪🇺 EU Service for Foreign Policy Instruments 🌐

The Arctic is warming almost 4 x faster than the rest of the planet 😟 This is changing whales' migration timing, routes & whether they migrate at all. 👇👇 Together we must protect them and the ocean they call home. #BlueCorridors
