• Ahead of World Glaciers Day, individuals and organizations around the world are using social media as an avenue to raise awareness about the importance of glaciers and its preservation

The first ever World Day for Glaciers is set to take place on March 21, 2025. The day, declared by the United Nations, aims to raise awareness about the essential role of glaciers in the ecosystem.

World Day for Glaciers reminds us how important glaciers are to the planet. They store much of our freshwater, supplying water for homes, farms, and industries.

Yet, because of climate change, glaciers around the world are melting faster than ever.

Glaciers work like nature’s water tanks and help cool our planet by reflecting sunlight. As they shrink, sea levels can rise.

Ahead of World Day for Glaciers, individuals and organizations around the world are using social media as an avenue to raise awareness about the importance of glaciers and its preservation:

@jdinitiatives

Glaciers are more than just ice. With World Water Day coming up, let’s reflect on how climate change is melting away this vital resource. Water is life, let’s protect it.

@UNmountains

Mark your calendars! 21 March is the inaugural World Day for Glaciers! #WorldGlaciersDay 2025 highlights the impacts of glacier changes on mountain and downstream communities & ecosystems.

@UNinChina

Glaciers are vital for freshwater, sea level regulation, and biodiversity, but climate change threatens their survival. The UN declared March 21 as World Day for Glaciers to inspire action. Let’s start protecting them for future generations.
