COP30 Video of the Week: Mountain Glacier Loss and Andean Adaptation Strategies

Glaciers loss impacts sea-level rise, freshwater resources, tourism, and cultural sites. This event details the latest glacier projections and how our actions as a society, especially by reducing greenhouse gas emissions, can reduce the severity of these impacts. Speakers include Dr. Miriam Jackson, IPCC SROCC Lead Author and ICCI’s Europe and Himalaya Director; and Luis Daniel Llambi, CONDESAN, detailing strategies for adaptation in the Andean region.
