As part of the International Year of Glaciers' Preservation 2025, a joint celebration of the World Day for Glaciers and World Water Day will be organized to highlight the interconnected challenges of water availability and climate change. This combined event will serve as a platform for dialogue and action regarding the state of the world's glaciers and the impacts of the melting cryosphere on global water availability, food, and energy security.
The 2025 global campaign for the World Day for Glaciers and World Water Day will underscore the impacts of glacier changes on people living in mountainous regions and downstream communities, ecosystems, and particularly vulnerable groups, including the Small Island Developing States (SIDS), emphasizing the urgency of water-related adaptation strategies.
The event will bring together leaders, policymakers, scientists, and civil society to
address glacier preservation and water availability. They aim to raise awareness of glaciers' role in the climate system and water cycle while sharing best practices for mitigating and adapting to their accelerated melting. High-level sessions with government officials and UN leaders will outline strategies for glacier protection.
The event is co-sponsored by Barbados, Canada, Peru, Senegal, Singapore, Tajikistan, Switzerland, United Arab Emirates as well as UNESCO, WMO, UNDESA, UNDP, UNDRR, UN-Water, IAEA, IUCN and UNU-INWEH.
