Monthly Spotlight

The theme of World Water Day 2025 is ‘Glacier Preservation,’ and it aims to highlight the critical role of glaciers in sustaining life on Earth. Glaciers are melting faster than ever and as the planet gets hotter due to climate change, our frozen world is shrinking, making the water cycle more unpredictable and extreme.

For billions of people, meltwater flows are changing, causing floods, droughts, landslides and sea level rise, and damaging ecosystems. World Water Day aims to raise awareness of the challenges created by melting glaciers and calls on the global community to accelerate carbon emission reductions and implement local strategies to adapt to shrinking glaciers and uncertainties in water flows.

We must work together to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and manage meltwater more sustainably for people and the planet to be able to thrive.
