The State of the Cryosphere report, first published last year at COP26 in Glasgow, will be released every year through 2030; and is reviewed and supported by dozens of leading cryosphere scientists. It details how a combination of melting polar ice sheets, vanishing glaciers, and thawing permafrost will have rapid, irreversible, and disastrous effects on the Earth’s population; especially if we choose to exceed 1.5°C or more. This side event session explored the first publication of the report; the 2022 version is currently out for review. Main presenters include Dr. Julie Brigham-Grette, University of Massachusetts Amherst, former Chair of the U.S. Polar Research Board; Pam Pearson, Director of the International Cryosphere and Climate Initiative (ICCI); and Heidi Sevestre, Project Coordinator at the Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Programme (AMAP).
