A new study from leading institutions including Polar Bears International establishes a mechanistic link between climate change-driven sea ice loss and polar bear population declines. The research highlights the urgent need for climate action to protect polar bears, especially vulnerable cubs, as the Arctic warms over four times faster than the global average.

New research gives us a fresh glimpse into polar bears’ life on the sea ice, where they are most difficult to access and study. Bears on the sea ice show more variation in weight gain on the sea ice than previously thought, which may make them more vulnerable to loss of summer sea ice. Learn the specifics of these new insights and what they may mean for bears, below.

In one corner of southeast Greenland, a few hundred polar bears have adapted to life on glaciers, rather than sea ice. Unfortunately for those bears—and the rest of us—Greenland’s glaciers are in peril. In 2024, a paper in Nature studied 207 glaciers around the coast of the island and found that 179 had retreated significantly since 1985. As a way to highlight the threat to, and importance of maintaining, glaciers worldwide, the United Nations has designated 2025 as the International Year of Glaciers’ Preservation. Learn more about the why and how Greenland's glaciers are melting, and how it's affecting this polar bear subpopulation.

This week, the US government announced plans to withdraw from the Paris Agreement, as it did several years earlier. What will this decision mean for polar bears? To protect the future of polar bears, and our own, the biggest and most important goal is reducing carbon emissions. The Paris Agreement is an important tool to reduce emissions, but it’s not the only one. Read a message from our executive director, below.
