We are organizations of research, higher learning, innovation and culture. We are committed to academic integrity and advancing knowledge to build thriving communities of engaged citizens. We recognize the pivotal role the Arctic Ocean plays in keeping our global climate in balance and our societies stable. We use our voice to ensure that the dire consequences of exploiting any part of the Arctic Ocean, not just the High Seas, are made known. We support the Marine Arctic Peace Sanctuary for a viable and secure future for humanity.
