The UN International Conference on Glaciers’ Preservation May 29-31, part of the International Year of Glaciers’ Preservation 2025 (IYGP), will strive to establish the critical role glaciers play for local and regional communities and ecosystems, as well as the urgency in slowing their retreat through sharp reductions in fossil fuel emissions. Briefer “lightning talks” will take place at one of twelve high-level Thematic Sessions, with a focus on latest glacier science that will also include senior researchers. This session welcomes contributions from Early Career Researchers (ECRs) that speak to, among other topics, cutting-edge glacier science, adaptation to glacier and snowpack loss, science-policy alignment, and action on glaciers.
Travel support may be available to applicants from the Asia region; otherwise, applicants largely should be able to support their own travel. A simplified and free visa process will be available to Conference participants.
If interested in applying, please submit a brief (1 page) abstract/statement of interest and short CV (3 pages max) to susana@iccinet.org
