Arctic ICCE Project Participation
In my capacity as founder of the Arctic I.C.C.E project, I've addressed several groups regarding the impact of climate change on Arctic peoples and on how many corporations are and can respond to the situation. These include:
- Panel discussion on the impact of climate change on the roles of men and women, Copenhagen, Denmark, December 2009. The discussion was sponsored by the Danish Ministry of Gender Equality and was held just prior to the COP15 climate change summit. Climate change cultural experts from Denmark, Sweden and the U.S. were asked to participate in the program. Jennings’ presentation was on the impact of climate change on men in the Arctic.

Greenland is a country with many distinctions. It's the largest island on earth. It has the largest glacier in the northern hemisphere. Since 70 percent of Greenlanders smoke, they have the fastest growing rate of lung cancer in the world. It's home to almost mythical animals, like the single-horned narwhale, albino-like beluga whales and bedraggled musk ox. It has one of the best telecom systems on earth.
Amid all the debate over climate change, one thing is incontrovertible. The Arctic is melting.
Fast.
According to the international Panel on Climate Change, warming is occurring at the poles ten times faster than it is in temperature regions.
