Event Description

On this day, proclaimed by UNESCO, we celebrate the vital role of women and girls in advancing science and shaping solutions to global challenges. This year, the focus is on one of the most urgent issues of our time: the rapid melting of glaciers and its profound impact on water systems, migration patterns, cultural heritage, and the future of life on Earth.

This program situates the loss of tropical glaciers within a global context, from the Andes to the Arctic and Antarctica. It will highlight women’s contributions to science and decision-making as we confront the climate crisis and its cascading effects on communities and ecosystems worldwide.
