The Decisive
Decade
The years 2025-2034 represent the final threshold for cryospheric stability globally.
Tipping Point Alert
"13 October 2025 — first confirmed climate tipping point.
Glaciers are next."
The Science
Globally, the cryosphere is warming 2x faster than the global average.
At current rates, 75% of global glaciers could disappear by 2100. Even 1.5°C is not safe globally.
The Critical Window
- UN International Year of Glaciers' Preservation
- COP30 Brazil
- UN Decade of Action for Cryospheric Sciences (2025–2034)
- The Cryosphere is projected to warm beyond 1.5°C by 2028.
- What we do by 2034 determines if glaciers stabilise.
The Finance Gap
$1.9 Trillion
in global climate finance.
Less than 0.1% reaches glaciers. Only ~3% of all climate finance reaches mountain regions.
15 million people live in direct GLOF hazard zones with minimal financial protection.
