World Day for Glaciers(International)
World Day for Glaciers, celebrated on March 21, raises global awareness about glaciers’ importance and the impacts of climate change on these critical ecosystems.
Established by the International Glacier Commission in 2012, this day focuses on the study and preservation of glaciers worldwide.
Glaciers store freshwater that sustains billions of people and serve as indicators of climate change through melting patterns.
Scientists organize field expeditions, community outreach and citizen science projects to monitor glacial health.
Educational events, exhibitions and social media campaigns highlight the connection between glacier retreat and rising sea levels.
Annual themes aim to engage policymakers, researchers and local communities in coordinated conservation efforts.
