Adopting an Antarctica Declaration that recognises that all Antarctic beings have rights that humanity must respect and protect will establish a basis for global collaborative action to protect Antarctica that will benefit us all. An Antarctica Alliance will develop systems to implement the Declaration and ensure that decisions that affect Antarctica are made in the best interests of Antarctica. We hope this will evolve into an inspiring international, eco-centric governance system prototype.
We are gathering input for the Declaration until September 15th 2026.
Please review the drafts of the Declaration and the Explanatory Memorandum and send any comments to declaration@antarcticrights.org
We will collect these comments and incorporate them into the final Declaration.
The final Declaration will be signed during Antarctica Week celebrations in Cape Town on December 1st..
