Emphasis will also be on social vulnerability and on the facilitating role that international organisations have taken to upscale solutions and to leverage Swiss and global expertise to tackle cryosphere-related disaster issues. The “Last Glaciers” documentary teaser will be showcased as a raising global awareness initiative.
