International Cryosphere Climate Initiative (ICCI)

Established in 2009 as a result of the COP-15 held in Copenhagen, International Cryosphere Climate Initiative (ICCI)’s network of senior policy experts and researchers works with governments and organizations to create, shape and implement initiatives designed to preserve the Earth’s cryosphere. ICCI's work focuses on three major areas of the cryosphere: the Arctic, the Antarctic and high mountain regions. By connecting cutting-edge science to a variety of policy making forums and supporting integrated projects worldwide to protect the cryosphere, ICCI advances climate action.
