Arctic Climate Action Registry
Stopping the Arctic Meltdown
Scientists have confirmed that the Arctic is in crisis. At the current rate of warming, Arctic summers will be ice-free within five to ten years, for the first time in 65 million years, causing enormous disruption to local communities and wildlife. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg. A melting Arctic will have dire consequences for the entire planet. That’s why urgent action is needed now. The Arctic Climate Action Registry is the world’s first registry dedicated to stimulating projects that can put today’s technology and know-how to work to protect the Arctic.
New Draft American (ANSI) GHG Accounting Standard
It is being built around rigorous climate and lifecycle assessment metrics that take into account the latest scientific research and discoveries about the key Arctic greenhouse gases and aerosols. Get involved in this unique initiative to identify and support creative solutions for the Arctic that will stop this melting, and slow down global climate change Download the GHG Accounting Standard.Arctic Climate Summit: May 2010
No matter how successful the Copenhagen Summit may be, its timetable for action will not be adequate to address the immediate needs of the Arctic crisis. SCS is calling for an Arctic Summit in May of 2010 to approve projects and actions within the context of the Arctic Climate Action Registry, designed to reduce the current Arctic Regional Mean Temperature of +2.5°C by -1.0°C by no later than 2015. In addition, summit participants will consider a request for an ISO-14000 work item to standardize Arctic GHG accounting protocols. Find out what you can do to help us prepare for the Arctic Climate Summit.
