Inspired by the International Year of Glaciers’ Preservation 2025, the “Goodbye Glaciers?!” project plans to place signposts across Europe or even beyond — from cities to mountains — pointing to glaciers and showing the year they might be mostly gone if current climate policies continue. Each signpost has a QR code that links to an individual website for each glacier. 3D animations give an impression, how the glaciers might look like in the future under 1.5°C and 2.7°C global warming. While many glaciers in Central Europe may be lost, reducing emissions could still save a large amount of glacier ice worldwide which is a key message we want to spread. The website can be reached at https://goodbye-glaciers.info/ and the first signpost is presented to the public at the AGM. We will share more details and behind-the-scenes information through our poster.
