COP28 Video of the Week: “Global Glacier Loss Projections” with David Rounce

From the high latitudes to mountain regions, the world’s glaciers are responding faster than expected to fossil fuel emissions. This event shared the latest glacier models and described which regions have the most glacier ice that would be saved if emissions are kept within 1.5°C. Dr. Mohan Chand from Tribhuvan University moderated this session. Dr. David Rounce, Carnegie Mellon University, served as keynote speaker.
