From awareness → global action on the cryosphere ❄️🌍
At #WorldGlaciersDay 2026, #IYGP2025 closed & a new Decade of Action began.
The MRI’s @drcarolinadler.bsky.social contributed as IYGP Co-Chair – giving a keynote & moderating a high-level panel with fellow Co-Chair John Pomeroy.

Glaciers store 70% of Earth’s freshwater—but they’re melting fast. How can we adapt and strengthen the resilience of vulnerable communities?
GCF and @adb.org’s $3.25 billion Glaciers to Farms programme aims to address this in Central and West Asia. Learn more ⏬ #WorldGlaciersDay
#ClimateChange is redefining the meaning of the phrase “at a glacial pace”.
On #WorldGlaciersDay, Rosie Witton reflects on insights from her trips to glaciers on 4 continents.
She contemplates how “last-chance” tourism to retreating glacier sites might rouse more climate action 👉 buff.ly/TC6ZAX8
21 March is #WorldGlaciersDay!
Glaciers play a crucial role in the Earth’s climate system, freshwater availability, ecosystems, and human livelihoods.

❄️ On #WorldGlaciersDay 🌍 we remember that in recent years glaciers have lost ice faster than ever, contributing to sea‑level rise 🌊 and threatening countless ecosystems. Understanding this is key to tackling climate misinformation #ClimateEducation
A diagram illustrating the impacts of climate warming on high mountain regions. At lower levels of warming, glaciers retreat and snow cover declines. At higher levels, these changes accelerate sharply. The graphic shows increasing risks, including more severe floods, landslides and avalanches, damage to infrastructure, and growing pressure on water systems that supply billions of people. It also highlights broader consequences, such as rising sea levels and destabilisation of global climate and weather patterns.
Even if warming stopped at today’s levels, glaciers would continue to shrink. But on our current trajectory, things become far more severe.
Every fraction of a degree will determine how much survives.

#WorldGlaciersDay #Glaciers2026
This Saturday marks #WorldGlaciersDay.
Understanding how glaciers and ice sheets move, thin, and lose mass is essential for projecting sea level rise. @esa.int Climate Change Initiative Glaciers and Ice Sheets projects deliver the satellite data to do just that. Find the projects here: t1p.de/5gm62
Inspiring words from WMO SG Celeste Saulo at #WorldGlaciersDay & #WorldWaterDay 2026 ❄️💧
Collaboration, monitoring, & shared data are key – & central to the MRI's work. As we move into the Decade of Action for Cryospheric Sciences, we remain committed to making connections for #OurChangingMountains.
On 21 March is #WorldGlaciersDay 🧊
Alpine glaciers are melting faster than ever. We need real climate action, not temporary fixes. Let’s act before more ice disappears forever! ❄️🔥

At today’s #WorldGlaciersDay event hosted by Tajikistan in Geneva, SG Celeste Saulo emphasized that speeding up action to build resilience amid melting glaciers requires:
Stronger transboundary cooperation
Enhanced observations & monitoring
Long-term financing & strategic partnerships
#Glaciers2025
The GEN is at the #HRC61 side event on "Advancing Global Cooperation on Glaciers: Experiences and Multilateral Action", celebrating #WorldGlaciersDay with a discussion on approaches & experiences for glaciers preservation.

What can we do about melting glaciers? ❄️
🌍 The UN lays out 5 key actions—from cutting emissions to restoring ecosystems and supporting vulnerable communities.

Glacier preservation is a survival strategy. ❄️
Reducing emissions and managing meltwater wisely is key to protecting people and the planet.

The Pitztal Glacier is the highest glacier in Austria. The ice is disappearing due to the climate crisis. This not only affects skiing, but above all our drinking water supply.

The Rothorn Glacier is a Alpine cirque glacier that lost 86 % of its size since 1850. As very small glacier are more sensitive to climate warming, its retreat rate of -3.7%/a is much larger than large European Glaciers.

🧊This #WorldGlaciersDay 2025, our researchers answer the question:
Why should we preserve glaciers?
Find out their thoughts and learn more about the research they are undertaking here at Newcastle University >> bit.ly/4hoo9Lm
Why are glaciers important? ❄️
They store water, protect ecosystems, and help stabilize our climate.
Losing them puts our future at risk.
