In this case, the speaker was Sirojiddin Muhriddin, the Minister of Foreign Affairs Tajikistan. His existence emphasized his deep devotion to cooperation with the United Nations to ensure the preservation of the future by relying on Tajikistan’s cooperation with the United Nations, especially the glaciers of water supply.

“[For Tajikistan] Preservation of glaciers… Glacier Lake explosion floods affect more frequent droughts on floods, agriculture, energy production and industrial activities that threaten legs and roads.

According to the opening statement, major glaciers and climate experts emphasized a specific message about the preservation of glaciers. Sean MarshallThe Canadian government’s advisor to the Canadian government expressed concern about the acceleration speed of the glacier melting. “In the glacier community, most of us were surprised to see how fast it was, and one of the contributions he emphasized was darker, and he reduced the ability to reduce the ability to reflect the sunlight of the glacier. Explained that it occurred.

Ben All RobeA senior research scientist of Columbia Climate School and a professor at Columbia’s International and Public Affairs (SIPA) emphasized the value of integrating indigenous knowledge with scientific knowledge. “Scientific knowledge is abundant and worldwide is worldwide, but often shallow time.” Diggered knowledge is characterized by “monitoring of landscaping” and “attention to interaction with water with vegetation with soil.” Orlove also cited community -based projects in Peru and Nepal, discussing the complementary of science and indigenous knowledge systems.

Angela JoseMountain guides and environmental advocates focused on the power of grassroots that cause climate action. She emphasized the work Protect our winterOutdoor lovers and interest groups for lobby for policy change. Hawse emphasized the importance of effective communication strategies, such as “the gravity of the situation and the potential loss of what we like outdoors.” Lobby the lobby for specific goals, such as the law protection and clean energy and deal with climate effects.

According to the expert panel, the representative of the UN member country conveyed the official statement to summarize the state of the glacier preservation. Barbados is a tropical Barbados Island, but there are no glaciers, snow or ice, but it was “recognized that it is related to what happens in the glacier and on the coastline of small island developing countries such as Barbados.” Pakistan referred to the UNESCO Headquarters in Paris in the UNESCO headquarters in Paris’s “Glacier Shift: Pakistan’s unique climate challenge” event. The incident focused on Kara Koram or more, focusing on abnormal phenomena in which the glacier in the area maintained a stable mass due to the low temperature of the localized temperature. The representative insisted that this further strengthens the need to limit the temperature rise.

Other attendees were included Susan O’ConnellThe earth and doctors of Wesleyan University have recently been announced. report As the risk of the glacier lake explosion increases, floods occur in representatives of the insurance industry. Various NGOs also existed Project pressureIn Uganda, three disappearing glaciers were mapped. Their presence showed interest in the UN Education and the UNSCO, the world’s meteorological organization and the UN main organizers.

There was a copy in the meeting room. Un water development report 2025 Theme “Mountain and Glacier: Water Tower.” The report issued by Unesco on behalf of Unsco was released publicly with the World Glacier Day. The main discovery comes from the “increasingly broken mountain environment” that emphasizes the connection between glaciers and freshwater.

After pause, the World Glacier Day event turned into a discussion of sustainable water management of World Water Day. From 1993 to March 22, World Water Day was introduced every year. It was the topic of the year Glacier.

According to the panelist of World Water Day, one important task was to manage international cooperation in a changing world order. Cabe Madi“The main problem we deal with is uncertainty about the new world order,” said the director of University Institute for Water, Environment and Health Institute. This raises the same challenge as “water governance”. In particular, the loss of glaciers, “the world’s largest freshwater reservoir”.

Russia’s representative said, “The agenda of water should be examined through the development lens. [and] Not connected[ed] To the problem of peace and safety. ” Meanwhile, the UN capital development report emphasized the necessity of “multilateralism”, given that climate adaptation and water management are ultra -national problems.

Through the United Nations, “Some small countries were much higher in weight.” Daniel NowzoxSIPA international organizations and UN research experts. Since the 1990s, small islands have put pressure on the world to recognize sea level as an important issue. NAUJOKS quoted the leadership of Kiribati in climate governance. Similarly, Tajikistan, a small mountain country, has achieved something similar to the world glacier day. In fact, the speakers on this day have noticed the mutual connectivity and changing climate of our world as the melting glacier’s ice, which affects mountainous countries, travels to the sea, leading to the sea level rising by the island countries of Kiribati and Barbades.
