Here’s why glacier preservation matters and how you can help protect them
World Water Day is an annual United Nations observance highlighting the importance of freshwater. World Water Day began in 1993 to inspire global awareness and action on water-related challenges.
This year’s theme, Glacier Preservation, highlights the need to sustainably manage glacial meltwater and reduce manmade emissions.
As glaciers melt more quickly, it becomes harder to predict water flows. This unpredictability can have serious consequences for both people and the environment. Global reductions in carbon emissions and local strategies to adapt to shrinking glaciers will help make sure future generations have access to water.
