Its remit is to develop people from all walks of life and echelons of society into modern-day explorers; to discover change in the world’s most remote and extreme regions under the guidance of partner leading scientific authorities; and deliver these discoveries in an engaging, human manner to audiences around the globe.<ref name="test">[http://www.ice-warrior.com/about Ice Warrior > About]</ref>
The organisation provides raw, scientific data for others to go on and interpret in order to monitor these regions, which were described by Nobel peace prize nominee<ref name="nobel">Sheila Watt-Cloutier Awards and Honours</ref> Sheila Watt-Cloutier as "clearly one of the most important regions when it comes to climate change."<ref name="canada">{{Cite web |url=http://www.canadiangeographic.ca/magazine/ja08/insidestory.asp |title=Canadian Geographic |access-date=2012-06-14 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120512025042/http://canadiangeographic.ca/magazine/ja08/insidestory.asp |archive-date=2012-05-12 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
The project's founder Jim McNeill maintains that without such knowledge humans cannot be true guardians of the planet and we cannot establish whether the actions we are taking to mitigate climate change are having any lasting impact.
As an organisation it has an altruistic project side which relies on corporate sponsorship and involves charitable work and also an underpinning commercial side.
Global Warrior Project is made up of 5 extreme environments - Ice, Ocean, Desert, Mountain and Jungle.
