13 million acres of Alaska’s Arctic Reserve have just received maximum protection from the Biden-Harris administration. This unprecedented action puts the health of our people, our climate, and our planet above oil industry profits.
The Arctic is warming more than four times as fast as the rest of the planet. Prioritizing communities and protecting imperiled wildlife over drilling in the Arctic Reserve is a key step to reducing climate-busting carbon pollution to the levels we need to avert climate catastrophe.
Yet the fossil fuel industry, including oil giant ConocoPhillips, and its allies are relentlessly attempting to exploit the Arctic region, risking irreparable harm and devastation. We cannot allow their agenda to prevail.
Add your name to say: I stand with NRDC in support of strong Arctic protection, and I stand against fossil fuel companies relentlessly exploiting the Arctic, causing irreparable harm and devastation. Safeguarding this fragile ecosystem and its wildlife, and the communities it supports, is vital to combating the climate crisis and preserving nature, biodiversity, and people’s interests over profit.
