On 20–21 March 2025, the GLOFCA project was represented at the International Scientific and Practical Conference on “Preservation of Glaciers – The Basis for Ensuring Water, Food, Energy, and Environmental Security”, held in Dushanbe, Tajikistan. The event was organized in collaboration with the Agency of Hydrometeorology under the Committee for Environmental Protection of the Republic of Tajikistan and marked the celebration of the International Day of Glaciers.
The conference brought together researchers, government officials, environmental advocates, and international partners to discuss the importance of glacier preservation for water security and climate resilience. During the high-level plenary session, GLOFCA Project Manager Ms Diana Aripkhanova joined the open discussion with international organizations, emphasizing the relevance of the GLOFCA project in Tajikistan — particularly in addressing the growing threat of glacier lake outburst floods and in supporting regional cooperation to strengthen climate resilience.
The event served as a preparatory step for the High-Level International Conference on Glacier Preservation 2025, to be held in Dushanbe on 29–31 May 2025.
