Alpine glaciers shape our landscape & play an important role in hydropower + the local drinking water supply. Like the polar regions, they are particularly hard hit by climate change. Dealing responsibly with nature is our only chance to preserve it for future generations. #50ShadesOfGlacier will raise awareness on acting responsibly in nature & will support reputable initiatives + projects aiming to preserve glaciers. Switzerland stands out as one of the countries with the longest records of glacier changes, and long​term observations are crucial in order to understand the impact of glacier retreat on water resources or hydropower production. 50SG-Fund will act first nationally & will expand globally, if funds allow.
