The cryosphere is the ice- and snow-covered parts of the earth and they are very crucial for good livelihood. However, most people do not know about the consequences it adheres once global warming is not limited to 1.5 degrees. At higher temperatures, these areas will begin to melt, which will result in the tremendous rise of sea levels, decrease of the availability of drinking water, the release of large amounts of greenhouse gases once the permafrost melts. This will accelerate climate change further.

In this project, International Cryosphere Climate Initiative Europe (ICCI) seeks to increase knowledge and understanding of the role of the cryosphere in the climate system in China and in Sweden.

The project is supported with 2 380 000 kr.
