Our key issues

Thriving communities

Healthy oceans, rivers & lakes

We strive to build trusted relationships through coalitions and partnerships grounded in care, creativity and collaboration.

Making transformative, long-term impacts

We have the ambition, strategies and expertise to overcome significant challenges and make transformative, sustainable impacts.

Biodiversity is disappearing nearly as fast as sea ice in the Arctic. We help local leaders establish parks and other protections to safeguard nature that stores carbon and provides shelter to bears, walrus, seals, otters, birds, salmon and other Arctic wildlife.
People hold leaders accountable. We partner with local activists to demand justice in courts, to access information about environmental harms and to involve local people in decisions that impact their health and livelihoods.
Plastic trash is choking rivers, accumulating in oceans, killing wildlife and entering people's bodies. To stop plastic pollution, we collaborate with local communities to ban single-use plastics and challenge the petrochemical industry’s planned growth of plastic production.
Ships are a major source of climate and air pollution. We partner with local leaders to push government officials, the freight industry, and the Big Retailers who use fossil-fueled ships to transport their products to work together to rapidly achieve clean ports and ships.
Our oceans regulate the global climate and feed hundreds of millions of people. We lead coalitions that seek to establish marine protected areas to preserve the greatest variety of life on Earth.
