11 A renewable energy future Identify and conserve resilient areas Ensure the entire Arctic is well managed What we’re doing

Can we meet virtually all of our energy needs from renewable sources by 2050? Source: Ecofys Energy Scenario to 2050, commissioned by WWF International

RACER – about finding important places in the face of rapid climate change

WHY WE WORK WITH PEOPLE People know best Hunters can be environmentalists It’s the law It’s effective It’s rewarding
