Advancing Equitable Solutions for Arctic Permafrost Thaw

The Arctic is warming at nearly four times the global average, and the thawing of permafrost—the frozen ground that covers much of the region—poses a significant climate risk. As permafrost thaws, it releases greenhouse gases like methane and CO₂, which further accelerate global warming. Together for Climate is at the forefront of advancing equitable solutions to address this critical challenge, and your support makes these efforts possible.

Why Permafrost Thaw Matters

Permafrost holds vast amounts of organic material that has been frozen for millennia. As the Arctic warms and this material thaws, it decomposes, releasing potent greenhouse gases. Scientists estimate that permafrost thaw could release as much as 150 billion tons of CO₂ this century if no action is taken.

Building Equitable Solutions

Together for Climate prioritizes working with Arctic communities—those most affected by permafrost thaw—to develop solutions that are sustainable and just. Your contributions help:

• Support research into innovative technologies to slow permafrost thaw.

• Empower Indigenous communities to lead climate adaptation efforts.

• Promote policies that mitigate the broader effects of Arctic warming.

Together, we can ensure that Arctic solutions benefit both the planet and the people who call it home.
