Mission
ICCI elevates the voices of scientists and local communities from Arctic and mountain regions to reach governments, nonprofits, and international forums
ICCI seeks to:
- Highlight the plight of the cryosphere, the rapid changes taking place there and their global consequences, for example through the annual State of the Cryosphere Reports.
- Inform climate negotiators and the global community of the important differences in the climate dynamics driving cryosphere climate change at various events, including UNFCCC meetings and with Cryosphere Pavilions there.
- Bring together networks of scientists, policymakers and other stakeholders to develop policies of sufficient climate ambition to prevent increasing loss and damage globally from cryosphere loss.
- Help obtain funding for integrated projects across disciplines, bringing together a range of organizations and individuals (for example Arctic, Himalayan, and Antarctic black carbon experts) for local and regional cryosphere action.
The organization has no registered commitments.
allows stakeholders to inform the public about their work on DRR. The SFVC online platform is a useful toolto know who is doing what and where for the implementation of the Sendai Framework, which could foster potential collaboration among stakeholders. All stakeholders (private sector, civil society organizations, academia, media, local governments, etc.) working on DRR can submit their commitments and report on their progress and deliverables.
