This lack of urgency stands in stark contrast to the most recent findings of cryosphere science \u2013 research into the future of Earth frozen polar and mountain regions.<\/p>\n<p>Rapidly-evolving observations and projections now make strikingly clear that <em><strong>the Paris Agreement Goal of 2\u00b0C is Too High<\/strong><\/em> and would cause highly destructive, centuries-long global loss and damage from the irreversible melting of planetary ice \u2013 all set in play by our failure to turn the tide on fossil fuel emissions in this key decade.<\/p>\n<p>At this event, five scientists will join ministers from the new Ambition on Melting Ice (AMI) High-level Group on Sea-level Rise and Mountain Water Resources to explain why this is the difficult, but undisputed conclusion from the most recent cutting-edge research \u2013 much of it published even since the most recent IPCC reports \u2013 that the cryosphere response in a 2\u00b0C world is beyond the limits of adaptation for billions of people alive today, as well as many future generations. Science increasingly points to losses earlier and at greater scale than previously thought, with heightening risks of crossing irreversible cryosphere thresholds for each fraction of a degree\u2019s overshoot of the \u201clower\u201d Paris 1.5\u00b0C goal. Some will be near-immediate (such as total loss of summer sea ice and polar ocean acidification); others slow to manifest, but unstoppable if triggered (sea-level rise from the slow, but inevitable collapse of polar ice sheets). All will jeopardize the lives and livelihoods of many future generations.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, if we knew in 2015 what we know today about global cryosphere, 2\u00b0C would have been off the table as a viable temperature goal of the Paris Agreement. We now have a narrow window to rectify this, \u201ckeeping 1.5\u00b0C alive\u201d as an exclusive focus, not simply an option. Join us for this high-level Climate Week event to hear from leading global policymakers and scientists, including IPCC authors, who will share key messages on the urgency of mitigation securing 1.5\u00b0C based on rapidly-evolving cryosphere science. Together, we will chart a course toward a better future for all \u2013 starting with COP28.<\/p>\n<a rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/live\/tL4X7ploiJQ\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"button primary\"  >\n    <span>Watch Livestream<\/span>\n  <i class=\"icon-youtube\" aria-hidden=\"true\" ><\/i><\/a>\n\n<a href=\"https:\/\/iccinet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/AMI-UNCAS-Press-Release-FINAL.pdf\" target=\"_self\" class=\"button primary\"  >\n    <span>Press Release<\/span>\n  <i class=\"icon-angle-right\" aria-hidden=\"true\" ><\/i><\/a>\n\n<a href=\"https:\/\/iccinet.org\/sv\/media-center\/\" target=\"_self\" class=\"button primary\"  >\n    <span>Mediacenter<\/span>\n  <i class=\"icon-angle-right\" aria-hidden=\"true\" ><\/i><\/a>\n\n<p>Please RSVP to the AMI Secretariat at <a href=\"mailto:morgan@iccinet.org\">morgan@iccinet.org<\/a> by September 15.<\/p>\n<div class=\"container section-title-container\" ><h3 class=\"section-title section-title-center\"><b><\/b><span class=\"section-title-main\" >Agenda<\/span><b><\/b><\/h3><\/div>\n<p><strong>15:00 Seating &amp; Welcome <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>15:15 Opening Address<\/strong> <br \/>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Minister Dr. Majsa Rojas, Chile and AMI Co-Chair <br \/>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Minister Espen Barth-Eide, Norway, founding member of AMI<\/p>\n<p><strong>15:30 \u201c5&#215;5\u201d: Five Cryosphere Dynamics by Five Leading Crysophere Scientists: <\/strong><strong>Why 2\u00b0C Should Be Removed as the Upper Paris Limit at COP28 <br \/><\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Dr. Robert DeConto | IPCC SROCC<br \/><em>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Polar Ice Sheets: Overshoot at 2\u00b0C Means 6-20+ Meters Irreversible Sea-level Rise<\/em><br \/>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Dr. Twila Moon | NSIDC<br \/><em>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Polar Sea Ice: A 1.5\u00b0-1.7\u00b0C Threshold<\/em><br \/>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Dr. Christina Schaedel | Woodwell Climate Research Center<br \/><em>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Permafrost: Centuries of Committed Carbon Emissions Even at 1.1\u00b0C<\/em><br \/>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Dr. Sian Henley | University of Edinburgh (TBC)<br \/><em>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Polar Oceans: Long-tailed Legacy of Acidification, Warming and Freshening<\/em><br \/>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Mira Khadka | PhD Candidate, Carnegie Mellon University and Nepal<br \/><em>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Mountain Glaciers &amp; Snow: 2\u00b0C Means Centuries of Impacts on Water Resources<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>16:00 Science-Policy Panel<br \/><\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Ambassador Kuban Kabaev, Kyrgyz Republic<br \/>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Camila Zepeda, Director General of Global Affairs, Mexico<br \/>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Ambassador Carlos Fuller, Belize<\/p>\n<p><strong>16:20 Closing<\/strong><\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/ambitionmeltingice.org\/\" target=\"_self\" class=\"button primary is-underline\"  style=\"border-radius:99px;\">\n    <span>Ambitioner p\u00e5 sm\u00e4ltande is<\/span>\n  <i class=\"icon-angle-right\" aria-hidden=\"true\" ><\/i><\/a>\n\n\t<div id=\"gap-935619913\" class=\"gap-element clearfix\" style=\"display:block; height:auto;\">\n\t\t\n<style>\n#gap-935619913 {\n  padding-top: 15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t<section class=\"section\" id=\"section_1394985350\">\n\t\t<div class=\"bg section-bg fill bg-fill  bg-loaded\" >\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n\n\t\t<div class=\"section-content relative\">\n\t\t\t\n<div class=\"container section-title-container\" ><h4 class=\"section-title section-title-normal\"><b><\/b><span class=\"section-title-main\" >Background Information<\/span><b><\/b><\/h4><\/div>\n<h3><strong>Ambitioner p\u00e5 sm\u00e4ltande is<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>At last year&#8217;s UN Climate Conference COP27 in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt, 20 government ministers formed the <a href=\"https:\/\/ambitionmeltingice.org\/\">Ambition on Melting Ice (AMI) high-level group on Sea-level Rise and Mountain Water Resources<\/a><strong>. <\/strong>AMI aims to ensure that the irreversible and devastating global impacts of cryosphere loss are understood by political leaders and the public alike, across the planet.
