Imagine a world without the Arctic: for millennia people lived in the Arctic alongside some of the most elusive and majestic animals, and in some of the toughest conditions anywhere on Earth. But now all that is changing. The Arctic is heating up rapidly.

 The Arctic has warmed by over 3ºC. That’s twice as fast as the rest of the planet.Changes we see here are rippling across the world: sea levels are rising, and the climate systems we rely on are becoming more unstable and destructive.

To have even a chance of saving the rapidly melting Arctic, we need to keep fossil fuels in the ground.

The problem? An oil spill in the Arctic would be a catastrophe. But corporations are intent on trying to drill there. We can’t afford to drill for more oil if we want a hope of keeping temperature rise to below 1.5ºC.
