Siku Project is an environmental non-profit initiative launched by volunteers, headquartered in the United Kingdom. Its core mission is to slow Arctic ice sheet melting through engineering solutions to combat global climate change, while creating income streams for Indigenous Arctic communities. The project has been running for 2 years, is currently in the research and development phase, and accepts volunteer applications and public donations from all over the world.
The project's core design modifies wind-powered water pumps: it uses wind energy to pump water from under the ice sheet onto the ice surface. The water then re-freezes in the frigid temperatures to form new ice, thickening the ice sheet to slow melting. All devices are required to meet the standards of being portable, buoyant and low-cost. Indigenous Arctic residents are responsible for assembling, deploying and maintaining the devices; they earn working income through selling carbon credits, while advancing the environmental goal of ice sheet restoration.
Pros: The project directly addresses climate change, the defining environmental issue of our time. Its solution balances environmental protection with the livelihoods of Indigenous communities, and has an innovative design approach. It is run entirely by volunteers, operates openly and transparently, and actively recruits volunteers from different professional fields.
Cons: The project has not yet achieved large-scale implementation, so its real-world effectiveness has not been validated. Its all-volunteer team also creates uncertainty around development progress.
This project is suitable for people who care about climate change and are passionate about environmental public good to support. It is also a great fit for volunteers with skills in engineering, non-profit management or social media operations to join the collaboration.
