Upcoming Side Event on March 23: “Cryosphere, Climate, Cooperation: Preserving Glaciers & Snow for the Water Action Agenda” at the UN 2023 Water Conference

For those attending the UN 2023 Water Conference next week, please join us in Conference Room 5 from 14:00-15:15 EDT on March 23 for a side event featuring science-policy discussion on glaciers, snow, and future water availability. Presenters will highlight the crucial importance of limiting global average temperature rise to 1.5°C to preserve the global cryosphere, thereby protecting freshwater resources for billions of people. Scientific talks will be followed by remarks from Government representatives, who will share knowledge and solutions from a national perspective. The side event is organized by the Kyrgyz Republic, Peru, Nepal, and ICCI, in coordination with members of the “Ambition on Melting Ice” (AMI) High-level Group. Agenda and speaker list are available at the link below:
