DOWNSTREAM Glacier Footprints
DOWNSTREAM, Protect Our Winters project and supported by icebreaker, explores the effects of glacier retreat on three major rivers: the Rhône (Europe), Columbia (North America), and Waitaki (New Zealand). This white paper highlights how climate change threatens water availability, biodiversity, and human activities reliant on glacier-fed rivers.
