A CALL TO ACTION ON THE GLOBAL CLIMATE CRISIS “Over the past three decades of global warming, the oldest and thickest ice in the Arctic has declined by a stunning 95 percent.” - National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Annual Arctic Report Card / 11 DEC 2018 “It is deeply worrying that influential world leaders are denying the connection despite overwhelming scientific evidence between our lifestyle and climate change and preventing the necessary actions from being taken.” - Professor Carl-Henrik Heldin, Chairman of the Board, Nobel Prize / 10 DEC 2018 ”If we don’t take action, the collapse of our civilization and the extinction of much of the world is on the horizon, the fate of the world is in the hands of our leaders.” – Sir David Attenborough, United Nations People’s Seat, COP24 / 3 DEC 2018 “We are facing an existential threat and there is no time to continue down this road of madness. Our political leaders have failed us. Why should I be studying for a future that soon may be no more, when no one is doing anything to save that future?” - Greta Thunberg, 15 year-old Swedish activist, COP 24 / 3 DEC 2018 “World leaders 'have a moral obligation to act’ we have 12 years to limit climate change catastrophe, even half degree of extra warming will affect hundreds of millions of people.” – United Nations / 8 OCT 2018 “The planet has only until 2030 to stem catastrophic climate change, experts warn the planet will reach the crucial threshold of 1.5 – 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels by as early as 2030.” - UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change / 8 OCT 2018

UNIVERSAL STORYTELLING|VISUALIZING CLIMATE CHANGE Understanding public perceptions, knowledge, and beliefs about climate change is important for developing educational messages, guiding the development of persuasive messages, and identifying anticipated responses to policy proposals. In general, people tend to associate climate change with psychologically distant images or negative apocalyptic images of climate change provided in popular media, resulting in low emotional arousal, less concern, and lower belief in climate impacts. We need to take a more sophisticated approach to public communications about science-based, climate-related solutions to provide hope via achievable, aspirational images as lifestyle motivators.

• putting the Arctic at the forefront of the global dialogue on
climate change
• visualizing climate science through data-driven storytelling
• sharing knowledge to transform mindsets
• accelerating action to scale existing solutions
• demonstrating bold leadership to protect the ArcticREARCTIC is a global initiative launched from Oslo, Norway, that connects, unites, and engages the public in making bold decisions that address climate change and result in trackable actions that reduce our individual and collective impact on the Arctic Region and the Arctic Ocean. The Arctic is our global thermometer, the actions and choices of every human being on this planet either contributes to or reduces Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions entering the atmosphere. Physical distance, lack of knowledge, and scientific communications are major barriers to understanding the impacts of climate change on the Arctic and to agreeing on sustainable solutions that protect and preserve it. The choice is ours to educate, empower, and activate. Photo: “Formations at Nathorstbreen, Spitsbergen, Norway” Diane Tuft, 2015
The Arctic is the north polar region consisting of the Arctic Ocean, adjacent seas, and parts of Alaska, Northern Canada, Finland, Greenland Iceland, Norway, Russia and Sweden. The land and sea within the Arctic region has seasonally varying snow and ice cover, with treeless tundra containing permafrost. This fragile and unique environment is under threat from climate change. The evidence of global warming is in no place more obvious than in the Arctic region. The Arctic has warmed rapidly during the last four decades. The magnitude of temperature increase in the Arctic is taking place twice as fast as the rest of the planet. The effect of Arctic climate change will have profound local, regional and global implications. Photo: “Phytoplankton Bloom in the Barents Sea” NASA Earth Observatory

Pew Research Center Views on Climate Change by Key Demographics The % of US adults saying the earth is getting warmer because of human activity / because of natural patterns in earth’s environment / or that there is no solid evidence the earth is getting warmer. Global Concern about Climate Change, Broad Support for Limiting Emissions The global median of 54% of countries polled consider climate change a very serious problem. Moreover, a median of 78% support the idea of their country limiting greenhouse gas emissions as part of an international agreement in Paris. Even in the U.S. 66% believe people will need to significantly alter their lifestyles. (Both of these reports were issued leading up to the Paris Agreement at COP21 in 2015, and have since increased.) Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) 2018 Study and Survey Diverse segments of the US public underestimate the concerns of minority and low-income Americans regarding the environment and climate change.

UNESCO | MOSAIC OF CHANGE ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– UNESCO’s mandate declares that it’s in the minds of men and women that the defenses of peace and the conditions for sustainable development must be built. The MOSAIC OF CHANGE platform was launched by Millennium ART in collaboration with the UN Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) during COP21 in Paris, in honor of UNESCO’s 70th Anniversary. MOSAIC OF CHANGE (MOC) is a universal storytelling platform presenting a visual language through immersive design experiences that spur intercultural dialogue and understanding to inspire peace and foster change for a sustainable future. MOSAIC OF CHANGE utilizes art and technology to educate and inform citizens about the worlds most urgent contemporary issues, while encouraging individuals, communities, and decision makers to reflect on what solutions have been implemented to date, and determining how to focus time and resources where change is still needed most.
NORSK KLIMANETTVERK –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– The Norwegian Climate Network (Norsk klimanettverk) is a volunteer-run group spanning a broad section of Norwegian society, from cultural workers to climate scientists, civil servants and academics. We believe that catastrophic climate change cannot be averted without increased mobilization in all nations. The Climate Network’s main goal is to make climate change relevant to more people, and to get people personally involved. To do so, our main focus is the Climate Festival § 112, which allows ordinary citizens to start their own climate awareness projects and reach out to new sections of society, showing that climate change is a non-partisan, unifying issue – an opportunity for positive change in the face of a great common threat. The Norwegian Climate Network initiates and coordinates the Climate Festival § 112 in collaboration with a number of organizations, institutions, artists, scientists, academics, businesses and communities, all of whom donate their time and efforts pro bono. Storebrand, ranked 2nd on Forbes’ Global 100 list of the worlds most sustainable brands, nominated the Norwegian Climate Network as a finalist for their 2017 Sustainability Award!
KLIMAFESTIVALEN § 112 –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– The Climate Festival § 112 is a nationwide, Norwegian grassroots action coordinated by the Norwegian Climate Network (Norsk klimanettverk). Based entirely on the pro bono efforts of ordinary citizens, activists, research institutes, environmental organizations and cultural institutions, the annual Climate Festival has for four years in a row been the largest climate mobilization Norway has seen. Our common goal: to communicate the need for climate action in new and creative ways, encouraging the public to participate in real change and take steps that nudge people, politics and businesses in the right direction. The festival is named after Article § 112 of the Norwegian constitution, one of the most beautiful – and potentially transformative – pieces of legislature in the world: Every person has a right to an environment that is conducive to health and to a natural environment whose productivity and diversity are maintained. Natural resources should be managed on the basis of comprehensive long-term considerations whereby this right will be safeguarded for future generations as well. In order to safeguard their right in accordance with the foregoing paragraph, citizens are entitled to information on the state of the natural environment and on the effects of any encroachment on nature that is planned or carried out. The authorities of the State shall issue specific provisions for the implementation of these principles.
OSLO EUROPEAN GREEN CAPITAL ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Today more than two thirds of Europeans live in towns and cities. Urban areas concentrate most of the environmental challenges facing our society but also bring together commitment and innovation to resolve them. The European Green Capital Award has been conceived to promote and reward these efforts. Since 2010, one city in Europe is awarded the title each year. Winners are announced 18 months in advance. The award honors high environmental standards, sustainable urban development and green job creation. Indicators for being a green city include local transport, biodiversity, air quality, waste management and noise. Oslo has one of the lowest carbon footprints in the world, with its 660,000 inhabitants, it is green not only due to its low carbon footprint of 1.9 tons per capita per year, but the City aims to cut emissions by 50% by 2020 (compared to 1990) and to be carbon neutral by 2050. Tackling climate change is a high priority for Oslo, with very ambition targets dependent upon political will and public engagement. Oslo has introduced a range of integrated measures to achieve these ambitious targets, for example, by promoting zero emissions transport. The city has become the ‘Electric Vehicle Capital of the World’ with 38% of all vehicles now sold in the city being electric, with a long-term goal of having a car-free city by 2050.
OUR OCEAN CONFERENCE ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– The Our Ocean conferences focus on the key ocean issues of our time – marine protected areas, sustainable fisheries, marine pollution, and climate-related impacts on the ocean. The conferences are visually engaging, inspiring, and interactive events with an unwavering emphasis on commitments for action by participants and other stakeholders around the globe. Through these conferences we strive to inspire the next generation of leaders, entrepreneurs, scientists, and civil society to identify solutions and commit to actions to protect and conserve our ocean and its resources. The main objective of Our Ocean Conference is to increase as well as enhance the collaboration and partnership between various ocean stakeholders, which is translated into concrete and actionable commitments. Participants are encouraged to announce their commitments during the conference, as it critically contributes towards global efforts to preserve the oceans' health. Discussions during the Conference will highlight integrated and actionable solutions, which remove barriers between sectors, disciplines, and financing streams to comprehensively address the ocean as an inter-connected system and economy. Norway is hosting the 2019 Our Ocean Conference in Oslo, 24 – 25 OCT 2019.

CLIMATE ACTION APP ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Earth Guardians is a youth-led organization designed to empower young people by providing them with leadership opportunities and tools to bring their innovative solutions to the world’smost pressing issues. Earth Guardians began as an accredited high school in Maui, Hawaii in 1992, focusing on environmental awareness and action in its core curriculum. Students studied the history of social movements and took action to restore sandalwood forests and shut down the toxic practice of burning sugar cane. The school became recognized throughout the Hawaiian Islands and beyond, with the Dalai Lama presenting the Children's Torch of Hope to twenty- five Earth Guardianstudents. Seeing the need to empower and give voice to a wider audience prompted Earth Guardians to relocate to Colorado in 1997 and engage more young people in programs to amplify their voice. Earth Guardians began teaching youth about the involvement in political action and activism, working to stop the spraying of pesticides in public parks, establishing an environmental fee on plastic bags, advocating for municipalizing Boulder's energy grid, and helping to achieve a moratorium on fracking. Earth Guardians received a great deal of press and attention for local and global actions, allowing the organization to expand into national and international work. Now with thousands of engaged youth on six continents, Earth Guardians has given youth a voice and direction worldwide in order to become effective leaders and make measurable change in their communities. Earth Guardians is developing the resources to build a stronger collaborative network and cultivate thislarge wave of youth engagement.
CARBON OFFSETS –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– In large part, the message around climate change is not connecting or inspiring mainstream culture. But even when the message does connect, there is no obvious roadmap for people and organizations to create measurable impact. Together with our partners, Chooose is creating a new conversation around climate change. One that is action-oriented and inspires creative, climate positive actions with measurable impact. Our partnership with the UN allows us to go into carbon markets to buy carbon credits on behalf of people and companies. One carbon credit is equal to one ton of CO2. Each dollar spent on carbon credits goes directly to fund the best sustainable projects worldwide. In reality, we (you) fund removal of air pollution (CO2e) at global scale, via green projects in developing countries. But we also try to have some fun along the ride. We believe mixing climate action into culture and creativity is the best (and most inspiring) way to achieve our ultimate target; turning people climate positive.
