Observing snow and ice to strengthen climate resilience in Central Asia's mountain regions

Bern — Mountain regions, which are home to one fifth of the world's population and the source of fresh water for half of all humanity, are particularly vulnerable to climate change. In Central Asia, the melting of snow and glaciers and the degradation of permafrost increase the risk of natural disasters and water scarcity. The SDC is supporting the region through projects such as CROMO-ADAPT to better understand the phenomena at work and to adapt to them.
