The Gorner Glacier 🧊

Situated near the Monte Rosa massif close to Zermatt, Switzerland, the Gorner Glacier’s front has been retreating drastically since the end of the 19th century, and in the last few years, its retreat has been accelerating.

Africa 🌍 offers many solutions for the climate crisis, with its huge potential for renewable energy and green hydrogen, critical raw materials, rich nature and young workforce.

We 🇪🇺 will be your partner in your green industrial transition.

As @IPCC reported, glaciers worldwide experienced unprecedented ice losses since the second half of the 19th century.
Ice melt from glaciers, such as Gorner, and from the ice sheets of Antarctica and Greenland together account for almost two-thirds of sea-level rise.

UN Secretary General @antonioguterres speaking at #ACS2023 / #AfricaClimateWeek :

"An injustice burns at the heart of the climate crisis.

Here, from a low emitting continent, Africa, I make a very strong appeal to the largest emitters:

Assume your responsibilities!"
