The International Glaciers Conference in Dushanbe closed on May 31, and proved a landmark halfway point in the International Year of Glaciers’ Preservation (IYGP) 2025. It served also to raising cryosphere issues as countries prepare for the UNFCCC Subsidiary Bodies meetings in June (SB62) and later, COP30 in Brazil. Outcomes from this conference will be presented to the UN General Assembly this September and will include the Dushanbe Glaciers Declaration, Chair’s Summary, and Dushanbe Call to Action; with the aim of advocating for stronger emission reductions “preserve glaciers” and limit long-term impacts from declining snowpack and mountain permafrost as well as glacier retreat.
