Sustainability Starts with Protecting the Arctic

The Arctic is warming more than twice as fast as the rest of the earth. This warming is having profound negative environmental effects. Left unchecked, the consequences could be devastating within the next decade - not only for the region, but also for the entire planet.

Now, companies, institutions, policymakers and consumers can help solve this crisis and reap rewards by taking bold action to become Arctic Climate Neutral. Every company and every individual has an Arctic Climate Footprint, regardless of where you are located and what you do. Becoming Arctic Climate Neutral means that you have taken specific steps to neutralize this footprint. Your efforts will be documented by the Arctic Climate Action Registry (ACAR), which has been founded to incentivize Arctic Climate Neutral activities through establishment of a new Arctic-specific carbon market, including new carbon offset credits.
