Mountain glaciers provide an essential source of freshwater for downstream communities, particularly during the dry season. This COP27 session explored the direct and indirect consequences of glacier loss; needed emissions reductions to prevent or minimize this outcome; ways to adapt, and levels at which adaptation may not be feasible. Speakers include Dr. Heïdi Sevestre, Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Programme (AMAP); and Marcela Fernandez, founder of Cumbres Blancas Colombia.
