Launch of the State of the Cryosphere Report 2025

Media briefing on the release of the State of the Cryosphere Report 2025 by International Cryosphere Climate Initiative and its relevance for COP30 negotiations.

The report highlights accelerating ice losses globally, with Arctic warming at 4x the global average and Antarctica at 2x. Key findings show that limiting warming to 1.5°C can save twice as much glacier ice globally compared to current trajectories. The briefing covers glacier dynamics, ice sheet responses, permafrost thaw, and polar ocean changes, emphasizing urgent action needed for climate adaptation.

Key Speakers:
- Pam Pearson (Director, ICCI)
- Dr. James Kirkham (Chief Scientist)
- Chris Stokes (Ice Sheets Expert)
