@WWFNorge is ready to take up the fight, if needed. More and better information on what the consequences of deep sea mining would be on this vulnerable ecosystem are needed before any decision should be made.

📢 BREAKING: @WWFNorge intends to take legal action against its government for opening #DeepSeaMining.

The decision to open represents an unprecedented governance scandal, says WWF #Norway CEO @Karoline_Andaur.

The Arctic is warming almost 4 x faster than the rest of the planet 😟

This is changing whales' migration timing, routes & whether they migrate at all.

👇👇 Together we must protect them and the ocean they call home. #BlueCorridors

Next week at @arcticfrontiers we launch an exciting new project to empower #ArcticYouth to shape effective climate policies in the Arctic. #YT4AF @arcticyouthnetwork @saamicouncil @eyp_network @Polar_Research @ArcticMayors @eu_eeas @EU_FPI

A significant moment for global climate action, but not enough for the Arctic. Strong action and clear milestones are now needed if we are to preserve the delicate balance of the Arctic, ensuring both nature and climate are safeguarded for a sustainable and inclusive future.

📢 #COP28's conclusion was marked by historic agreements & criticisms about the absence of a short-term roadmap.

❄️ Amidst these debates, there is a crucial question: What are the implications for the #Arctic?

Here's our take 👇

The @UNFCCC #COP28 has agreed to transition away from fossil fuels 🚫

But a transition is not enough 🌡️

The #Arctic, warming faster than any place on Earth, needs fossil fuels phased out today 🚨

WWF Arctic Director @vleewallgren comments on COP28's results 👇

[Vicki Lee Wallgren @vleewallgren]

We need to see ambitious goals coming out of #COP28, and even more importantly, strong action to make these goals become reality.

The #Arctic doesn’t have time to waste.

[WWF Global Arctic Programme @WWF_Arctic]

After one week of #COP28, we need negotiations to:

👩‍🔬 Align with science
⛔ Commit to a fossil fuel phase out
🐻‍❄️ Act with nature in mind

WWF #Arctic director, @vleewallgren, notes the that the science is clear.

We need more from #COP28 👇

📢 "Dear leaders, civil society will closely observe how your rhetoric & actions line up," says @DusikJan, WWF #Arctic Governance Lead, about last week's @oneplanetsummit #OnePlanetPolarSummit.

More #cryosphere research is great–but we also need action👇

[Vicki Lee Wallgren @vleewallgren]

The message from NGOs to #OnePlanetPolarSummit leaders is clear.

[WWF Global Arctic Programme @WWF_Arctic]

The #OnePlanetPolarSummit (OPPS) is concluding today with heads of state meeting to adopt the OPPS declaration.

After two days of meetings with scientists, explorers, Indigenous Peoples and civil society, the takeaway is very clear 🚨 👇

For @WWF_Arctic @vleewallgren the Central Arctic Ocean Fisheries Agreement is a gem 💎 of Arctic marine environmental governance
But it must be taken good care of, and more such gems will be needed to form a jewel that can protect this unique ecosystem from multiple pressures

"The risk that I see is the militarization of our mindset in a sense that we lose the ability to see everything which is outside the domain of military security, I have in mind climate change..."

Great #FoodForThought by Vicki Lee Wallgren from Global #Arctic Program @WWF on poss. new platforms of dialogue between @ArcticCouncil & #Obsrvers
Perhaps there is a bigger role for #WarsawFormatMeeting to accommodate some of the concerns
