The United Nations General Assembly has declared 2025 the International Year for Glacier Preservation. From a climate perspective, the melting of glaciers caused by rising temperatures leads to a profound disruption of life on Earth, as these formations are essential for climate regulation and access to drinking water.
In this event, we will discuss the state of glaciers in Italy and the Alpine region, retracing the history of these vital formations. From a scientific standpoint, we will outline the causes of glacier retreat and its consequences on the climate. We will also explore the social and anthropological impacts of climate change. How can such a complex phenomenon as climate change be made tangible and understandable to everyone?
