Members of BEPSII, ASPeCt, CATCH, QuIESCENT, and PACES have recognized the urgent need for a unified statement from the scientific community addressing the cryosphere out of deep concern for the current state of the climate and the insufficient progress observed in ongoing negotiations.
In response, they have prepared an open letter titled “An S.O.S. from the Poles to World Leaders at COP29” to highlight these concerns and stress the critical need for immediate action. This statement has already been endorsed by several major international organizations.
The media event was streamed live on the International Cryosphere Climate Initiative (ICCI) YouTube channel dedicated page:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ku8sQ3BHSis
