Mission Statement

OUR VISION
The Will Steger Foundation has seen firsthand the dramatic affects of global warming on both the environment and the human condition. With that knowledge, we are leading humanity to solve our climate change challenge.

 

WHAT WE DO
Our polar expeditions offer a unique view of people and places on the front lines of global warming. Supported by robust educational and public policy initiatives, we are making a tangible impact on public awareness concerning the threat of global climate change. To advance state and federal policy that addresses solutions to global warming, we are mobilizing the public and elected officials through the compelling narrative and credibility of the eyewitness account.

The Will Steger Foundation supports responsible and sustainable stewardship of our planet by presenting facts in context with the stories and images of the people and places impacted by global warming.
