The Dominion promotes a posture of passive preservation of cold, notably through the designation of protected territories and awareness of melting ice.
Some external organizations carry out actions compatible with the Dominion’s climate stance.
- 🌐 Ice Memory — Officially supported since 2024, dedicated to conserving ancient ice for scientific memory.
- 🌐 Polar Bears International — Boreal research and climate awareness.
Only the Ice Memory mission is the subject of a support decree[1].
