CLIMATE ACTION · SAVE THE ARCTIC
Our Planet Is Warming.
Polar Bears Are Losing Their Home.
Rising temperatures cause sea ice to melt earlier and form later. For polar bears that depend on sea ice to hunt and travel, this means fewer chances to survive. Protecting the climate means protecting their home.

THE CLIMATE CRISIS
It’s More Than Warmer Weather
The Arctic Is Changing Fast
Burning fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas adds greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. These gases intensify the greenhouse effect and raise global average temperatures.
The Arctic is especially sensitive to climate change. Shrinking sea ice affects polar bears that rely on the ice to hunt seals, and it changes the wider Arctic ecosystem.
Remember: Climate change is a complex global challenge. Cutting greenhouse gas emissions and protecting natural ecosystems can help reduce future risks.
LIFE ON THE ICE
Why Do Polar Bears Need Sea Ice?
Sea ice is more than a frozen surface. It is essential habitat where polar bears hunt, travel, and raise their young.
🧊
Shrinking Sea Ice
Rising temperatures affect when sea ice forms and melts, changing the icy habitat available to polar bears.

Finding Food Becomes Harder
Polar bears mainly hunt seals from sea ice. When the ice shrinks or breaks apart, they may have to swim farther and use more energy to find food.
🐾
Greater Survival Challenges
Difficulty finding food can affect body condition and reproductive success. Young bears may face additional challenges to survive.
A SHARED RESPONSIBILITY
Protecting the Arctic
Means Protecting Our Future.
Our climate systems are interconnected. Cutting emissions, improving energy efficiency, and protecting forests and oceans can help Arctic ecosystems and make communities more resilient.
1.5°C
The Paris Agreement calls for efforts to limit the rise in global average temperature to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels. This is a key global climate goal—not a threshold below which there is no climate risk.
Note: This is an international climate target, not a live reading of current global warming.
SMALL STEPS, BIG IMPACT
What Can We Do?
Every action matters. Make sustainability part of your daily routine and support broader climate solutions.
Save Energy
Turn off lights when not in use, use heating and cooling wisely, and choose energy-efficient appliances.
Choose Greener Travel
When practical, walk, cycle, take public transportation, or carpool.
Reduce Waste
Avoid single-use items, reuse what you can, and sort waste for recycling.
Share What You Learn
Share reliable climate science and support environmental education and conservation projects.
