๐ŸงŠ Glaciers matter for water, food and livelihoods in mountains and beyond. This is what we are highlighting this year on 11 December, International Mountain Day.Every year, this day provides an opportunity to emphasise the crucial importance of these areas in terms of natural resources, biodiversity, identity, cultural heritage, ways of life, and more resilient models. However, all of this is under threat from climate change, poorly targeted funding and negative perceptions of pastoral professions.Today, we are putting the spotlight on these endangered ice giants throughout our mountain ranges!Did you know that: ๐Ÿ’งThe Alps alone provide 40% of Europe's fresh water?๐Ÿ’กGlacier retreat will reduce hydroelectric energy production by an average of 10% in the Alps and by up to 35% by 2070 compared to today?๐ŸŒฑ68% of irrigated agricultural land in the plains depends directly on water runoff from the mountains? โ›ฐ๏ธBy 2034 the Pyrenees will be ice-free?๐Ÿ“ขAn appropriate governance of glacier is needed to counteract the rapid changes!๐ŸงŠ By signing the manifesto for better European governance of glaciers alongside 80 other organisations, we are calling for immediate and targeted political responses to the economic, social and environmental impacts of climate change.Have a look ๐Ÿ‘‰ www.euromontana.org/european-manifesto-for-a-governance-of-glaciers-and-connected-resources/ #IMD2025 #InternationalMountainDay #MountainsMatterMountain Partnership ...
