  • What is the cryosphere?
    The cryosphere is a term for the regions of our globe which are covered in ice and snow - either seasonally or year-round. Climate change is happening in the cryosphere faster and more dramatically than anywhere else on earth.
  • Why is the cryosphere important?
    Climate change is happening faster and in a dramatically more visible way in the Earth’s cryosphere. Global changes in climate are exaggerated in the cryosphere. The cryosphere is on a near-term timeline - we, quite simply, need to act fast to address the changes to our cryosphere.

    Read more about the importance of the cryosphere.
  • Integrated Solutions
    The cryosphere is different, requiring different yet complementary climate solutions to those of the globe as a whole. ICCI seeks to find new and integrated solutions for these challenges.

    Read more about the integrated solutions we seek to implement. .
  • Our Work
    We believe that much can be accomplished if we do not worry about who is given credit for solutions. We work behind the scenes to create new partnerships and provide solutions for governments and organizations.
