Glaciers play an important role in the water cycle. ❄️ They store and release water that sustain rivers, ecosystems, and communities downstream. Given their vulnerability to climate change, protecting these freshwater systems is more important than ever.

Mountain water supports ~40% of Earth’s land, but rapid change in snow and ice is reshaping what flows downstream.
