| About International Polar Foundation： |
Our mission
To communicate and educate on the reality of climate change through the findings of Polar sciences and thereby convince society to act responsibly now to ensure a sustainable world for future generations.
Activities
The IPF communicates with the general public on research in the polar regions through:
- Information: developing, supporting and encouraging projects that inform the public about polar science and how it improves understanding of the causes and consequences of climate change.
- Education: developing, supporting and encouraging innovative educational projects and materials to stimulate a positive public attitude towards polar science and action on climate change. This recognises the particular importance of outreach to the next generation which will experience the impacts of climate change on a great scale.
- Demonstration: developing, supporting and encouraging projects offering constructive responses to sustainable development issues. The IPF also seeks to lead by example - in the IPF's own activities the best available methods and techniques for clean development are used wherever possible.
