Help us issue an SOS from the roof of the world to save Earth’s snow

Time is running out to save the snow and ice of Earth’s mountains. Ice held on the tallest mountain range on Earth, the vast highland crescent of the Hindu Kush Himalaya, is projected to last longest of all Earth’s mountains. But even here, 80% of remaining volume of ice is projected to be gone by the end of this century. In this, one of the most populous and most biodiverse places on the planet, the consequences are too vast to contemplate. SaveOurSnow is a campaign from the roof of the world uniting mountain communities, mountain champions, and mountain scientists to issue an SOS for Earth’s mountain frozen zones.

Save Our Snow is a new global advocacy campaign from the roof of the world.
Earth’s frozen zones are among our most breathtaking landscapes. But the survival of these magical realms of snow and ice now hangs in the balance.  Save Our Snow sets out to unite, amplify and leverage the voices of mountain communities, mountain scientists, and mountain athlete and cultural champions—to call for faster action to protect Earth’s frozen mountain zones, and the vast human populations, and biodiversity that rely on their waters.
To Save Earth, we need to call for our leaders to Save Our Snow. Steering ourselves from an unliveable future may be humanity’s greatest summit yet.

We still have a CHOICE.
On the left is how a glacier in Switzerland is projected to respond under current emissions pathways.

On the right, you can see losses slowing by the end of the century: protecting water resources for nature, food, and power.

"We still have a choice, and here every fraction of a degree matters.
Some loss is already committed, but the outcome towards the end of the century is still to be decided. Delaying mitigation will result in more loss and damage, greater instability, and less time to adapt to our changing mountains." - James Kirkham, AMI Chief Science Advisor and Coordinator, ICCI

It's not too late.
Huge losses to Earth’s mountain water sources are already locked in. But if we ditch dirty energy quickly enough, it’s still possible to stabilise the glaciers that supply water to a quarter of humanity. Join the movement to #SaveOurSnow
