There is nothing like the pristine Arctic landscape, where the vast expanse of blue-tinted ice heaves and cracks. Seeing the Arctic at the top of the world is a humbling and awesome experience.
Yet because of climate change, the top of the world is melting fast, and oil giants are moving to cash in. The melting Arctic is under threat from oil drilling, industrial fishing, and conflict.
Your voice matters and your action would be instrumental in realizing our vision: declaring a global sanctuary around the North Pole, to become enforceable by international law, that will mean a ban on oil drilling and other activities that threaten the Arctic.
It's big and it's ambitious, but you can help us do it. Sign up now to help us create an Arctic sanctuary free from oil drilling.
Together we can do this. We know, because we've done it before. Twenty years ago, following a Greenpeace campaign, Antarctica was declared a World Park, off-limits to industrialization. Now let's do the same at the opposite pole.
We'll add your name and a million others to a scroll and plant it on the seabed, 4km beneath the North Pole. There it will hold firm: at the bottom of the ocean, at the top of the world. We must draw the line, and say to the polluters, "You should come no further."
