Our assigned space this year will again combine exhibit, side event and office space in a single consolidated Pavilion in the Blue Zone, and is taking place in coordination with the Ambition on Melting Ice (<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/ambitionmeltingice.org\/\">AMI<\/a><\/strong>) Co-chairs Chile and Iceland. For more information, see the comprehensive <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/iccinet.org\/zh\/cop29-cryosphere-pavilion\/\">COP29 Cryosphere Pavilion<\/a><\/strong> webpage.<\/p>\n<p>Breadth is strongly encouraged: scientists, Indigenous peoples, Youth and all those who participate in these side events help raise cryosphere impacts and the need for 1.5\u00b0C-consistent NDCs as we head for COP30 in Brazil next year. Baku is especially dependent on mountain water resources, with more than a quarter of its water supply coming from glaciers and snow; so we anticipate an especially strong focus on mountains this year.<\/p>\n<p>There will be six or seven one-hour slots each day, with sufficient breaks to allow set-up of the next event.

However, mountain-dependent regions, in particular the HKH face challenges today.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ice Sheets: Choosing Between 3-20+ Meters Irreversible Sea-level Rise <span data-text-color=\"primary\">|<\/span><\/strong> The WAIS and its collapse will cause 4-6m of SLR over time, and may already have passed that point even today; but chances of slowing or preventing that collapse are far better without overshoot of 1.5\u00baC. In Earth\u2019s past, even 2\u00b0C has resulted in 12-20 meters of SLR over time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Polar Oceans: Stabilized CO2 or Millennia of Acidification <span data-text-color=\"primary\">| <\/span><\/strong>Polar oceans and high latitude seas already show fisheries and shell impacts today, because these colder waters absorb CO2 more quickly. Those impacts will be greater still with overshoot of CO2 concentrations especially above 450ppm, which with current growth of 2-3ppm annually will be breached around 2030. Warming, freshening and invasion by low latitude species all only add stress towards (in worst-case emissions) a mass extinction event.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Permafrost Thaw: More Carbon Emissions for Centuries with Overshoot <span data-text-color=\"primary\">| <\/span><\/strong>Permafrost carbon emissions drive some degree of global warming. Those emissions are increasing: they are already on the order of Japan\u2019s; but overshoot to 3-4\u00b0C will introduce a \u201cpermafrost contribution\u201d closer to that of China or the U.S. today, but lasting 100-200 years; necessitating generations of negative emissions well after anthropogenic emissions cease.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sea Ice: Stabilizing Climate or Accelerating Warming if Loss Expands <span data-text-color=\"primary\">| <\/span><\/strong>Antarctic sea ice hit a record low this year, with potential feedbacks to ice sheet loss and global ocean currents. In the Arctic Ocean, ice-free summers will still occur within the 1.5\u00baC limit; but by 1.7\u00b0C, this is projected to become an annual phenomenon. By 2\u00b0C, projections show ice-free periods stretching from July to October most years; with feedbacks including increased permafrost thaw and Greenland ice loss\/sea-level rise; and harm to Arctic food chains and communities.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Financing for Mountain and Coastal Regions: Adaptation, or Loss &amp; Damage? <span data-text-color=\"primary\">| <\/span><\/strong>Mountain areas are key for climate adaptation efforts due to their transboundary and global importance, serving as water towers and global biodiversity hotspots. Coastal areas, similarly, have a high vulnerability to climate change as well. Critical steps forward include leveraging finance, such as finding synergies between mitigation and adaptation projects, from the local to national and regional level.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cross-cutting <\/strong><strong><span data-text-color=\"primary\">| <\/span><\/strong> If you event relates to Cryosphere Science and Policy but is more cross-cutting, feel free to so designate.<\/p>\n<div class=\"container section-title-container\" ><h4 class=\"section-title section-title-normal\"><b><\/b><span class=\"section-title-main\" >\u8054\u7cfb\u6211\u4eec<\/span><b><\/b><\/h4><\/div>\n<p>If you have any questions, please reach out to:<\/p>\n<div class=\"row\"  id=\"row-606033238\">\n<p data-line-height=\"xs\">\n\t<div id=\"col-1555711001\" class=\"col medium-5 small-12 large-5\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n<p data-line-height=\"xs\"><strong>\u5e15\u59c6\u00b7\u76ae\u5c14\u68ee<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-line-height=\"xs\"><em>Executive Director<\/em><\/p>\n<p data-line-height=\"xs\"><em>International Cryosphere Climate Initiative (U.S)<\/em><\/p>\n<p data-line-height=\"xs\"><em>International Cryosphere Climate Initiative-Europe (Sweden)<\/em><\/p>\n<p data-line-height=\"xs\"><em><a href=\"mailto:pam@iccinet.org\">pam@iccinet.org<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-255802080\" class=\"col medium-7 small-12 large-7\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n<p data-line-height=\"xs\"><strong>\u827e<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-line-height=\"xs\"><em>ICCI Global Outreach Director<br \/>\n<\/em><\/p>\n<p data-line-height=\"xs\"><em>Pavilion Logistics and ECS Coordinator<\/em><\/p>\n<p data-line-height=\"xs\"><a href=\"mailto:amy@iccinet.org\"><em>amy@iccinet.org<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ICCI will again coordinate Pavilion activities, in strong cooperation with various partners, including lead organizing partners for the various Focus Days.
