Integrating Cryosphere Science into Nature-Based Climate Strategies to Enhance Ocean Resilience

Accelerating loss of ice, glaciers, snow, and permafrost is raising seas, disrupting circulation, deepening acidification, and fueling extremes. In our session we are trying to traces these ocean impacts and converts evidence into COP30 policy pathways—adaptation and the GGA, Article 6, and Loss & Damage—braiding insights from the Arctic, Himalaya, and South America to spark cross-regional action.
