Declines in Snow and Ice Cover

  • Rating12345

NORWAY GOVERNMENT – Speech – Most of the global ice and snow cover is rapidly declining. This will have large global, regional and local consequences for human beings and nature. This is the main message of the UNEP report “Global Outlook for Ice and Snow” which was presented in Tromsø today.  

 

The report gives a comprehensive presentation of the current changes in snow and ice cover at a global scale, and its consequences for human beings and ecosystems. I am specially concerned about how climate change turns out to be a reinforcing process. The melting of ice and snow from the increase in temperature will lead to further global warming. We have started an accelerating process, and we do not know its outcome, says the Norwegian Minister of Environment, Helen Bjørnøy.
