Glaciers are crucial for regulating the global climate and providing freshwater, essential for billions of people. However, due to climate change, these vital resources are rapidly melting. The International Year focuses on providing concrete recommendations to address climate change impacts, advocating and raising funds for more ambitious action, and convening countries and communities affected by glacier loss.
