Glaciers in the European Alps are disappearing fast and getting close to their peak rate of extinction: www.theguardian.com/environment/...

The global mutirão decision from COP30 has just been released. And it’s ……disappointing, underwhelming, simply not enough. See the response from ICCI below.

🏔️ Glaciers lost 450 gigatons of water in 2024. This is enough to form a block of ice 7 km tall, 7 km wide, and 7 km deep or to fill 180 million Olympic swimming pools. Help us amplify #Glaciers2025: we need urgent climate action now. 🔗 https://bit.ly/4ivRNPc

After COP30 fire and floods: AMOC shutdown" - what is happening in the Atlantic and why should you care? Our important event on AMOC was rudely interrupted by the fire at COP30 yesterday, but this is an important message so we wanted to make sure you heard it. youtube.com/watch?v=B-0e...

Tomorrow at #COP30 and online @rahmstorf.bsky.social will present latest AMOC science & potential impacts of shutdown The event will be chaired by Minister Johannsson of Iceland and will include perspectives from representatives of Ireland, UK, Canada, and Finland iccinet.org/cop30-cryosp... 🧪🌊

Week 2 of the #COP30 Cryosphere Pavilion is underway! Key themes include thresholds and tipping points (Monday), adaptation in alpine glacier regions (Tuesday), ice sheets and sea-level rise (Wednesday), sea ice (Thursday), and pathways to 1.5°C (Friday). Full schedule iccinet.org/cop30-cryosp...

Climate change isn’t just an annoyance but a matter of life and death for some people. See this report from one of the most amazing parts of the world that I have been to, also with quotes and information from the amazing Tashi Lhazom. www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

Cryosphere science shows irreversible ice loss is underway, but can be slowed with emission cuts. At a #COP30 side event, scientists warned negotiators often soften evidence, urging choices guided by science Highlights ➡️ enb.iisd.org/1-5-C-perils... #cryosphere #glaciers #climate

“We cannot negotiate with the melting point of ice” -striking message from @iccinet.bsky.social report Ice melt leads to the most profound long-term impact of the #climatecrisis - sea level rise #climatecrisis Post by me www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Tomorrow at #COP30, join us at the Evidence 4 Action pavilion for Rescuing 1.5°C, presenting the latest science and introducing the Highest Ambition Pathway, one which minimises overshoot and gets temperatures well below 1.5ºC before 2100. Speakers: Piers Forster, @neilgrant.bsky.social, Anne Olhoff

This morning’s session at the #COP30 Cryosphere Pavilion discussed the impacts of black carbon in the Arctic. Updated emissions data and improved atmospheric modeling highlight why rapid reductions in black carbon remain essential for effective Arctic and global climate policy. Full schedule below!

Very clear overview of GGA and how to track progress.

Goodbye Manaus. On a slow boat on the way to Belem. See you at #COP30.

#COP30 - the definitive piece to read pre Belem

Yes! Time to get excited for #COP30 in Brazil! Let’s up the focus and ambition on melting ice! 👊🌏 ambitionmeltingice.org

Update, 6:00 a.m. Wednesday: The water level on Mendenhall River currently stands above 16 feet -- a new record for glacial outburst flood height. The river reached major flood stage around 1 a.m. and is still forecast to peak between 8 a.m. and noon. What are you seeing where you are?

🌊❄️🧪 🇦🇶 Please share: We have learned that the National Science Foundation is moving ahead with plans to decommission the U.S. Research Vessel/Ice Breaker Nathaniel B. Palmer this October. If you care about Antarctic research, please read on (1/n)

Toward a June record for iso 0°C this week end in the Alps! 🥵📈 Current record is 4912 m (18 juin 2017) and modeling show it could reach 5200 m on Sat. 28th at 5:00 am! 😱 Speechless... These values will put the whole of the Alps in ice abalation zone! 🔥 www.meteosuisse.admin.ch/portrait/met...

#Glaciers2025 is drawing to a close. The last thematic sessions have just started, including this one on Climate Finance and Investment for Glacier Preservation and Adaptation. After that it’s the closing session and the end of a whirlwind but amazing three days.

Are you in Dushanbe for #Glaciers2025 #ICGP2025 Please join us this afternoon at 14:00 for: THEMATIC SESSION 2: From Glaciers to Sea: Glaciers, Snowpack and Water Availability in a Changing Climate in the Press Conference hall on the 2nd floor. @iccinet.bsky.social #NVE

It’s all happening in Dushanbe at #Glaciers2025. Excellent quote in the plenary this morning: “"Glaciers preservation is not just the problem of countries with glaciers, it is a global crisis and requires a global response". Glacier festival last night was amazing, too.

The importance of just one degree on glacier preservation - by holding temperature increase to +1.5°C, more than twice as much glacier mass remains compared with an increase of 2.7°C. “Our findings stress the need for stringent mitigation policies to ensure the long-term preservation of glaciers”.

Shocking scenes following the disintegration and collapse of the Birch Glacier. A stark example of the evolving nature of cryospheric hazards under rapid warming and deglaciation in mountain regions. Monitoring and early evacuation prevented a bigger human impact here. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Fieldwork last week on Langfjordjøkulen, a rapidly shrinking glacier in northern Norway, was a good warmup for the #DushanbeGlaciersConference this week here in Tajikistan. #Glaxiers2025

A tribute to a dying glacier, that has trained may budding glacier scientists, especially from Hindu Kush Himalaya countries. And an excellent article in FT about why this is important. It's not just this one glacier that has almost disappeared but many tens of thousands more in the HKH.

Record low Himalayan snow for the third year running jeopardizes water security for nearly 2 billion people across 12 major river basins. Learn more about this critical situation: www.icimod.org/press-releas... Full report: doi.org/10.53055/ICI...

Remember Fiona Hill? She’s now sounding the alarm again: “We’re definitely on a path toward full-on state repression. There’s no question about it. I’ve thought about this for an extraordinarily long time.” When Fiona speaks, we should all listen.

Mer de Glace 1969 | 2024 We are a world away from the 20th century climate, already in uncharted territories, and that's just the beginning! 😱 Losing glaciers through sole human emission should make us take action 🛑 But we are apathetic... 📷 @glacionaut / IG

‘Casar’ glaciares para que tengan ‘hijos’: el Himalaya recupera una tradición ancestral para combatir la crisis climática

Properly mind-blowing event yesterday east of Annapurna II (NE face visible here, 7,937 m, Nepal)! 😱 Probably triggered by ice (+rock?) avalanche at high elev., given the reach and the absence of snow at the moment 🧊 The extent of the aerosol is... HUGE! ❄️🌪️ Source www.tiktok.com/@lakpasherpi...

❄️"The sooner we act to stabilize the #climate system, the more glacier ice will survive this century." 💭 After speaking at @un.org #WorldGlaciersDay celebrations, our SLC Member Shawn Marshall reflects on the urgent need to save #VanishingGlaciers. 🔗 mountainresearchinitiative.org/blog/hope-in...

Three generations of cryosphere leads at @icimod.bsky.social celebrating the first World Glaciers Day #GlacierDay2025

Celebrating glaciers at the world’s first #glacierday2025. And talking about the need to preserve them. The Tajikistan minister of education and science has just given his opening remarks.

I’m delighted to be in Paris for the Brainstorming session on the Decade of Action for Cryosphere Sciences and participating in two panels - on “socioeconomic impacts, vulnerability and adaptation” and on “policy, advocacy and campaigns”. Tomorrow is the first #WorldGlaciersDay #Glaciers2025

Looking forward to this panel and discussion on Friday at #WorldDayOfGlaciers.

Great skiing near #Lygna at the weekend but shockingly little snow for the time of year.
