Stat: 3 times: The Arctic is warming three times faster than the planet as a whole.

Story: The ocean is important for the health of the planet, and coastal communities around the world rely on it for their way of life. In Part II of \u201cThe State of Our Ocean,\u201d we speak with Sheila (Siila) Watt-Cloutier, an environmental, cultural, and human rights advocate, about the value of the ocean to the Inuit in the Arctic and how challenges such as climate change and rising tides affect her community and its traditional ways of life. \u201cWhat happens in the Arctic doesn\u2019t stay in the Arctic,\u201d says Watt-Cloutier. Many of the threats emerging in her people\u2019s culture from climate change are reflected across the world in other coastal towns.
