Earth Restoration Alliance is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization leading a science-based, intergenerational response to the rapid loss of Arctic sea ice — the planet’s reflective shield and one of Earth’s most critical climate stabilizers.
The Central Arctic Ocean sits at the heart of the global climate system. Its sea ice reflects the sun’s heat back into space — a process scientists call the albedo effect — helping regulate ocean and air circulation patterns like the Gulf Stream and Jet Stream that the entire planet depends on.
That shield is vanishing. As darker ocean water replaces bright ice, more heat is absorbed instead of reflected, accelerating warming, permafrost thaw, extreme weather, coastal erosion and biodiversity loss from the Poles to the Tropics.
See the Full PictureWe are calling for an immediate, decade-long pause on activities that would disturb the fragile remaining sea ice in the Central Arctic Ocean — including deep-sea mining, transpolar shipping routes, oil and gas exploitation, seismic testing, and radioactive waste dumping — while science and policy catch up to the scale of the crisis.
We combine high-level advocacy, legal strategy, and grassroots mobilization to defend the Arctic Ocean Ice Shield and secure its long-term protection.
Policy, legal and scientific experts advising on frameworks to protect the Ice Shield.
Built with Cambridge University Governance Lab to pursue legal protection for the Ice Shield.
A global network of young women climate leaders advocating for the Ice Shield worldwide.
Civil society activists driving grassroots action for the Moratorium and systemic reform.
Earth Restoration Alliance is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Every contribution helps fund the science, legal strategy and advocacy needed to protect the Central Arctic Ocean Ice Shield before the damage is irreversible.
