Speakers: Three-time Olympian snowboarder Leslie McKenna, Lauren MacCallum, He\u00efdi Sevestre.<\/em><\/p>\n

Nov. 1 (Monday): High-level Segment II<\/u><\/strong><\/h2>\n

10:00\u00a0 Tajikistan: Snow and Ice in Climate Change<\/strong><\/p>\n

How can mountain nations create resilience against the worsening impacts of disasters and rapidly changing water availability?\u00a0 This event will promote the achievement of climate-related sustainable goals and targets through preservation of glaciers and snow cover; and providing sustainable water management solutions.\u00a0Organized by the Government of Tajikistan, WMO and UNESCO. <\/em><\/p>\n

13:00 50×30 Analysis: Scotland<\/strong><\/p>\n

The IPCC has made it clear that to remain close to 1.5\u00b0C of warming, 50% emissions reductions must occur globally by 2030; and that this is especially important to prevent growing levels of loss and damage; and on human scales, permanent global impacts from cryosphere.\u00a0 The new 50×30 Coalition is meant to promote both this science, and those governments that are \u201c50×30\u201d consistent.\u00a0 How do the reduction measures by Scotland measure against this goal?\u00a0Organized by the 50×30 Coalition<\/em><\/p>\n

14:30 <\/strong>The Changing Arctic Ocean: Impacts of Climate Change<\/strong><\/p>\n

While ocean acidification is occurring most rapidly in the Arctic and Southern Oceans, some near-polar seas will see equally high levels, with long-term and extensive ecosystem damage (acidification takes around 50,000 years to recede).\u00a0 The North Sea is one of these acidification \u201chot spots,\u201d along with the Baltic; and both are suffering from other pressures as well.\u00a0 How can this future be prevented? Organized by British Antarctic Survey.<\/em><\/p>\n

18:00 Glaciers and Ice Sheets: the Long Tail of Climate Change<\/strong><\/p>\n

Smaller glaciers around the world are disappearing quickly with global warming; but until the past couple of decades, many of the world\u2019s largest glaciers, including in Canada and Alaska seemed more stable.\u00a0 Today however, even these massive glaciers clearly are losing ice; and projections show that they may continue losing mass for decades or centuries even should temperatures stabilize, and especially should peak temperatures exceed Paris goals.\u00a0 In this, they are similar to the polar ice sheets of Greenland and Antarctica: hear IPCC and other scientists discuss this \u201clong tail\u201d of glaciers and ice sheets in a warming world.\u00a0Organized by ETH Zurich and the University of Breme<\/em>n \u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

19:30 Cryosphere C\u00e8lidh*: Art Exhibit: Global Water Futures<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cold Regions Warming is an art-science perspective on climate change threats to the vast high latitude and high altitude cold regions of the world that provide freshwater to over half of humanity. The art, by UK-based Russian artist Gennadiy Ivanov comprises pastels painted in the field, photographs, sound, music, videos and large oils of how climate change and water impacts are measured, and what these impacts are on the cryosphere. It is suffused with the ambition that we can still ameliorate the very worst which, otherwise, is coming. Organized by Global Water Futures\/University of Saskatchewan and UNESCO.<\/em><\/p>\n

*Note: A c\u00e8lidh (\u201ckay-lee\u201d) is normally a broad, open event with many players and singers throughout the evening.\u00a0 Because of Covid restrictions, this sadly will not be possible at the COP-26 Cryosphere Pavlion; but the \u201cCryosphere C\u00e8lidhean\u201d are instead envisaged as a single c\u00e8lidh taking place across time, all the evenings of the COP; bringing together the breadth of cryosphere regions, peoples and cultural traditions.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
