Arctic Rising toolkit

Last edited 31 July 2012 at 10:26am

To protect the Arctic we need to mobilise millions of people around the world.

Together we need to create a global outcry that tells governments and corporations that this greed exploiting the Arctic has to stop, and we will stop it.

To succeed, we need you to do more. That means using your ideas to engage and inspire those around you to join and unite in this movement.

You can do it – everyone has something to offer. There are thousands around the world who will do it with you. In the toolkit are some ideas to get you started.

The Arctic Ocean is the last frontier for international oil companies, with rapid reductions in ice cover (due to climate change from the combustion of fossil fuels) making the exploitation of newly discovered offshore resources possible, at least theoretically. Royal Dutch Shell’s (Shell) proposed drilling programme in Alaska this year is seen as leading the charge into Arctic exploration by major oil companies.
