Mountain glaciers: Vanishing sources of water and life
For the purpose of the UN Climate Conference (COP24) this week in Katowice, Poland, a team of scientists from various institutions - including GIUZ resarchers Christian Huggel and Samuel Nussbaumer - developed a communication campaign on the effects of shrinking glaciers on ecosystems, people and economy.
Each day of the COP a new post/message will be released, adding up to a total of 10. You can follow them through #VanishingGlaciers, and all of them on the blogpost of the Mountain Research Initiative.
