Our cryosphere – glaciers, ice caps, snow and permafrost – is melting at an unprecedented pace.

Urgent action is needed to safeguard these vital frozen areas on which billions rely on for freshwater and climate stability. Endorsed by the UN, the Decade of Action for Cryospheric Sciences (2025–2034) is a global effort to boost research and drive urgent action to protect Earth’s frozen areas. This initiative calls on scientists, governments, and communities worldwide to unite and protect the cryosphere and safeguard the billions of people who depend on them for their survival.
