Circumpolar Arctic People’s Climate Message

The Circumpolar Arctic People’s Climate Message highlights how climate change is affecting indigenous communities across the Arctic. Rising temperatures are melting ice, altering ecosystems, and impacting traditional ways of life such as hunting and fishing. These communities observe environmental changes firsthand and emphasize the urgency of reducing global greenhouse gas emissions to protect their land, culture, and future. Their message calls for global action to address climate change, respecting their knowledge and rights, and ensuring that Arctic peoples can adapt sustainably to a rapidly changing environment.
