Getting used to this image: #glaciers almost completely naked - unprotected by the white snow - in August... While July was good for glaciers after record-melt in June, the new heat wave again results in major ice loss @glamos_ch @VAW_glaciology

Here are some photos from last year's Pavilion. Key topics – including ice sheets and sea-level rise, mountain glaciers and snow, permafrost, sea ice, and polar oceans – were featured in more than 70 side events. Our team of ECS volunteers helped ensure everything ran smoothly.

We need to speed up the transition from fossil fuels in this year’s NDCs at COP30 to save the cryosphere. New report by UNSG @antonioguterres ⬇️ "That world is within reach, but it won’t happen on its own. Not fast enough. Not fair enough. It is up to us. This is our moment."

Countries that cling to fossil fuels are sabotaging their economies. Driving up costs, undermining competitiveness, locking-in stranded assets. They are missing the greatest economic opportunity of the 21st century: the renewable energy revolution.

Antarctic and Southern Ocean stability is critical not only for the polar ice sheet but also global ecosystems and communities. We are attending #ATCM47 as part of ASOC, the Antarctic and Southern Ocean Coalition, providing scientific advice to inform decision making 🇦🇶

Today ICCI's Antarctic Director shared the latest science in #ATCM discussions, stating that geoengineering is not a solution to ice loss. She stressed the need to avoid exploiting sensitive Antarctic environments as a means to experiment with geoengineering interventions.

Today is the first day of the 47th Antarctic Treaty Consultative Meeting, held in Milan 🇮🇹 from June 23-July 3 alongside the 27th #CEP. An important issue: the risk of multi-meter sea level rise if critical thresholds in the Antarctic Ice Sheet system are crossed.

Antarctica and its surrounding ocean regulate our climate, store carbon, and support life globally. As #ATCM47 kicks off today in Milan, it’s time to act decisively to protect this vital region, for nature and for humanity. asoc.org #ProtectAntarctica

“Species-rich Antarctica” is more than just a youth art project - it's a call to action. ASOC urges #ATCM to advance the regulatory framework for growing Antarctic tourism and designate the emperor penguin as a specially protected species. 🖼️ 📸: Viktoria Spokojna

The emperor #penguin is on the frontlines of the #ClimateCrisis. This #ATCM47, countries have a crucial chance to give it Specially Protected Species status and help prevent its disappearance. bit.ly/4e0Yg4j #ProtectAntarctica

"We're putting the planet into a condition that hasn't existed since humanity has evolved as a species, and it's destroying our natural landscapes and water supplies...making our communities uninhabitable," said Pomeroy. calgaryherald.com/news/local-new… Clearly, his words went unheeded.

Dr. John Pomeroy @usask #IYGP exhorted G7 leaders to “just look up” at the mountains around them to see what is happening, in an allusion to the film where scientists warn humanity of an approaching comet that will destroy Earth, an analogy for today’s climate crisis.

Amid Melting Glaciers, G7 Looks Down Meeting in the heart of Canada's glacier country during a year dedicated to glacier preservation and the next round of climate commitments, it can only be called a tragic miss that G7 leaders failed to address climate change. 📸Dick Hoskins
