All people on Earth depend on the cryosphere. However, the cryosphere is under significant threat from climate change, with implications for billions of people. But it's not too late. By ⬇️emissions & ⬆️community resiliency we can take steps to avoid irreversable impacts.

⬇️ PUBLISHED TODAY ⬇️ The State of the Cryosphere 2024 report: over 50 leading cryosphere scientists warn of vastly higher impacts and costs to the global economy given accelerating losses in the world’s snow and ice regions. Read here: iccinet.org/statecryo24/

Looking forward to the first event I am contributing at this #COP! If you are in #Baku, join me tomorrow at the beautiful #OceanPavilion of #COP29 (H10 in area E). Suomen ympäristökeskus Finnish Environment Institute (Syke) Climate & Cryosphere BEPSII

What a pleasure to moderate and facilitate such a lively discussion with Stefanie Arndt @RobbieMallett & Jacqueline Stefels on the impact of sea-ice changes on #climate #ecosystems #people. 🙏Thanks to the #OceanPavilion by Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) & Scripps Institution of Oceanography of #COP29 for having us Climate & Cryosphere Finnish Environment Institute (Syke)

Yesterday we met at #COP29 AGU (American Geophysical Union) president Dr. Lisa Graumlich and we had a very insighful discussion around the process that brought #AGU to draft the Ethical Framework Principles for Climate Intervention Research. Stefanie Arndt Jacqueline Stefels
