Cryosphere, people, and climate change
1 min Read
Building on the success of the First Inter-Polar Conference, the second edition is being planned for September 2025 in ICIMOD premises in Kathmandu, Nepal, and jointly organized by the Arctic Centre of the University of Lapland, ICIMOD, and OPRI in collaboration with the following institutions: the UArctic Chair in Arctic Legal Research and the UArctic Law Thematic Network. The conference will contribute to the objectives of the International Year of Glaciers’ Preservation (IYGP) 2025.
The special theme for the second edition is proposed as follows: Cryosphere, people, and climate change.
The decline of the cryosphere has numerous negative global effects like climate change acceleration through carbon release and albedo reductions, sea level rise, weather perturbations and intensification of extreme weather events, as well as regional effects related to water and food security, transboundary conflicts, infrastructure challenges, and severe impacts on Indigenous and local livelihoods. Our aim is to promote and share knowledge and understanding on how to best protect and preserve the cryosphere in the Arctic and the Hindu Kush Himalaya region, as well as build resilience in the face of already occurring changes in both regions. We intend to do this by bringing together world experts and knowledge holders to share their perspectives and jointly produce novel insights that can be translated into concrete actions and long-term strategies. Besides this, we aim to build a lasting and durable network of scholars and stakeholders from both regions to continuously engage in dialogue and share experiences and expertise.
