Every millimeter of sea-level rise from glacier melt contributes significantly to global sea-level rise, exposes thousands to annual flooding, and threatens water security for billions. The rapid loss of glaciers is an immediate environmental and economic crisis that demands urgent global action.
Mountain communities have successfully adapted to changing conditions through traditional knowledge and practices for generations. Solutions such as artificial dams, early warning systems, and innovative water storage methods highlight that communities can develop effective responses to glacier loss.
