This year the dates are November 2-8. You can help by joining our efforts to celebrate the bears and raise awareness about the challenges they face in a warming Arctic, using the tools and resources below.
Every fall, polar bears gather on the shores of Hudson Bay to wait for the sea ice to return so they can hunt their seal prey. But the summer ice-free period is three to four weeks longer than it was in the 1980s, straining the limits of the bears’ fat reserves.
Polar Bears International founded Polar Bear Week to celebrate the bears and call attention to sea ice loss in the Arctic, the impacts on polar bears, and how we can help.
In addition, we encourage people to support our coexistence efforts—helping polar bears and people live safely with each other. This is critically important as more polar bears spend more time on shore as the sea ice melts.
During Polar Bear Week, we invite people to join us by tuning into our live Tundra Connection broadcasts and watching our live Polar Bear Cams.
Your generosity will support our human-polar bear coexistence efforts and other conservation work across the Arctic.
Committed to helping polar bears? Start a Protect Polar Bears and People Challenge fundraiser and invite your friends, family, and colleagues to join you!
Discover some of our favorite facts about these remarkable animals.

A future that’s good for polar bears is good for people. Now is the moment to rethink our use of fossil fuels, the energy of the past that traps too much heat around our planet, and look for ways to use more energy that comes from the sun, wind, and water. #ClimateActionNow #EnergyShift #COP30https://youtu.be/HYXvtQzmiDU
By taking practical steps to take #ClimateActionNow, reducing and rethinking our use of fossil fuels for energy, we act in the best interest of future generations of #polarbears and people! #SaveOurSeaIce #EnergyShift #COP30
