Paper led by EClim member Laura Niggli reviews global #GLOF risk management practices🌍. It outlines challenges & options for reducing hazards, exposure & vulnerability in glacierized regions. 📄 Read here: doi.org/10.1093/acrefo…

Featured on @Adapt_Altitude: EClim's Laura Niggli & Simon Allen share key #GLOF risk reduction strategies based on global review 🌍. As glaciers retreat, awareness & action matter. 🔗 adaptationataltitude.org/en/knowledge/m… 📄 doi.org/10.1093/acrefo…

Stadler Rail 🇨🇭 faced nearly $200M in production losses + $500M in stock value drop after floods in CH, AT & ES—just one example of how climate change costs are vastly underestimated. 🔗 shorturl.at/1KYd4 📘 Attribution study: shorturl.at/Kr3rJ

Loss & Damage finance needs ~$400B/year by 2025, says Tavoni et al. (2024). Only ~$700M pledged so far—most unallocated. A stark gap. EClim’s Christian Huggel comments this new study on equity & responsibility here 🔗 lnkd.in/ejuvrCEP Paper: 📘 nature.com/articles/s4301…

A landmark study on the Oct 2023 #Sikkim flood cascade—triggered by a permafrost landslide & GLOF—shows vast losses across the Teesta River 🌊 EClim’s Allen, Frey & Huggel contributed to this intl. effort to improve GLOF risk mgmt. 📘 science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

EClim’s C. Huggel reflects on the Oct 2023 #Sikkim #GLOF paper: -50M m³ of water + 270M m³ sediment, 55 lives lost, Teesta-III dam destroyed. - This paper shows why deep interdisciplinary work is vital—and why courts must consider it. 🔗 full comment here shorturl.at/JIzDI

Glaciers are more than water towers❄️🏔️ EClim’s H. Frey & S. Allen join a global call via adelphi 🌐 & Swiss Development and Cooperation to act on glacier change in #WWD2025. Read the full interview here: 🔗 shorturl.at/HRIHE

New in Nature Comms E&E! 🌎 EClim’s C. Huggel co-authors a study on climate change impacts across the Andes—from glaciers to human systems—linking changes to #climatechange & including Indigenous knowledge. 📘 nature.com/articles/s4324… #Andes #IPCC #Cryosphere

A new #GLOF near Vallunaraju 🇵🇪 (28 Apr) devastated parts of Huaraz: ~15 buildings destroyed, 2–3 lives lost. EClim’s C. Huggel & S. Allen stress that even small lakes can pose major risks in unstable high-mountain settings. Read the full post here: shorturl.at/oTzQr

New paper by EClim’s R. Muñoz & C. Huggel shows that social assets—not just infrastructure—are key to water security in the Peruvian Andes 🏔️💧 A holistic, user-focused approach is essential for resilient #MountainWaterGovernance. 📘 read the paper here: shorturl.at/K0LXJ

Big congrats to EClim’s Laura Niggli for defending her PhD on complex climate risks—from heat to GLOFs! Her thesis explores complex climate risks—from heatwaves to GLOFs—and how impacts cascade across sectors and systems. Full post: shorturl.at/Fx63m #ClimateRisk #GLOF

EClim’s Simon Allen 🇨🇭 joined #SagarmathaSambaad2025 in 🇳🇵, highlighting the value of science & cooperation in tackling climate risks in mountains. Proud to support Swiss Development and Cooperation & partners in the Himalayas. 🔗 shorturl.at/hWfwe #ClimateAction #Himalayas #MountainRisk

The evacuation of Blatten 🇨🇭 after the Klein #Nesthorn slope failure is a stark reminder: alpine hazards are shifting with climate. C. Huggel warns that permafrost loss & warming bring new risks—some with no historic precedent. 🔗Full comment: shorturl.at/tlJCt

Big week for #ClimateJustice: The German court ruling in Lliuya v RWE confirms major emitters can be held liable for climate impacts—even if emissions were once legal. EClim’s C. Huggel reflects as an expert in the case. 🔗Full post: shorturl.at/eGpIM

The Blatten avalanche wasn’t random. C. Huggel breaks down how warming, permafrost loss & glacier stress triggered the disaster. A stark reminder: climate change is shaping new, dangerous mountain dynamics. 🔗 Full post: shorturl.at/peaTO #Alps #ClimateRisk #Blatten

A first in glacier science: 🎥 SRF captured the actual moment of glacier detachment in #Blatten 🇨🇭. C. Huggel calls it a scientific sensation—these rare images will reshape how we study glacier collapses. 📄 Paper: lnkd.in/eBCb-seC 🔗 Full post: shorturl.at/tHD8L

Blatten 🇨🇭 was hit by a ~10M m³ ice-rock-debris avalanche—destroying much of the village. EClim’s C. Huggel: this is unprecedented in recent Alpine history and shows how complex cryosphere risks are becoming. 🔗Full post: shorturl.at/rflTF #Alps #Blatten #ClimateRisk

How did climate change shape the #Blatten disaster? EClim's C. Huggel explains: glacier collapse links to long-term warming—via permafrost thaw, snow loss & ice retreat. 📚 Read the full post here: shorturl.at/n7iY5 #ClimateChange #Glaciers #IPCC #Alps #Adaptation
