Protect Our Winters (POW) Europe

POW harnesses the passion of the outdoor community to turn the tide on climate change.

POW Europe leverages the power of our network of ten national POW chapters in Europe, Austria, Germany, France, Italy, Switzerland, Finland, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden and the UK… and counting. From northernmost Lapland to the southern Alps and Pyrenees, our national chapters are strongly rooted in their communities and have their ear to the ground on national and local issues. POW Europe transforms those local strengths into cohesive and impactful Europe-wide climate action. At the same time, we amplify national campaigns, provide centralised, expert support to the network and a single, coordinated point of contact for European partners.

There are an estimated 60 million skiers and snowboarders in Europe, a third the number of people who voted in the last European elections. Together with climbers, alpinists and other outdoor enthusiasts, the massive outdoor recreation industry and our communities, we can be a powerful force and make the difference on climate.
