3-2-1 Go 《Let The Glacier Cool》 Campaign by Will Legend

3-2-1 《Let The Glacier Cool》Campaign – Slow Down The Glacier Ablation and Safeguard Precious Water Resources

Glaciers Are Melting Too Fast – How To Let The Glacier Cool, and Cool The Earth?

3-2-1 International Year of Glaciers’ Preservation, and World Day of Glaciers (HK)

As the initiator of the “Let The Glacier Cool” Conservation and Education Programme, Will Legend highly values the United Nations’ International Year of Glacier Conservation in 2025 and the World Day of Glaciers on March 21 every year starting from 2025. We hope that our beliefs can be conveyed through education, conservation and research, and implement the protection of glaciers, glacier water resources, ecosystems and biodiversity from the social and community levels.

Since there is still lack of attention to the issue of glacier protection, we hope that through thee “3-2-1 Go 《Let The Glacier Cool》Campaign Launch” on today March 21st, the public in Mainland and Hong Kong can understand the importance of glaciers to humans! Will Legend connects governments, coporates, education, scientific research, conservation and charity organizations, to build peace, justice & strong sustainable partnerships, and shares the works on glacier preservation, to help attract people in both places to pay more attention to glacier preservation, and can also cooperate with the exchange policy between the two places strongly encouraged by the central government to jointly lead the Hong Kong public, especially young students, to go back to Mainland  for study tours, educational and research trips. 

Will Legend – A Journey to Safeguard Glaciers

Will Legend takes the lead in injecting start-up funds into “Will Legend Glacier Scientific Research and Talent Development” to serve as training scientific and tour guide ambassadors for the “Hong Kong Students Mainland Exchange Programme, Hong Kong and Macao Study Tour & Educational Tour, Corporate (organization) SDG & ESG Research Trip”, for providing students and participants a solid foundation in glacier science to achieve sustainable development of glacier ecology. Will Legend “Let the Glacier Cool” Conservation & Education Programme is supported by Tianshan Glaciological Station, Chinese Academy of Sciences and Dagu Glacier Management Authority, to organize academic research, trips and study tours and lead the public to embark on a journey of glacier conversation for all. At the same time, through “Education and Promotion” to promote the protection of The Third Pole, Antarctic and Arctic, so that the public, especially the next generations can understand that protecting glaciers is equivalent to protecting mankind’s most precious freshwater resources, nature and the Earth. The “Glacier Journey” jointly planned by Mainland, Hong Kong and Macao is located at the Earth’s Third Pole, and the Asian Water Tower:

Will Legend Leads the Public to Protect the Antarctic, Arctic and Third Pole

As the Third Pole of the Earth, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is the storage of ice and snow second only to the Antarctic and the Arctic. Half of the world’s population depends directly or indirectly on glaciers as a source of water for domestic use, agriculture and power generation. Glaciers are also the backbone of biodiversity and support numerous ecosystems. When glaciers melt rapidly, humans are at increased risk of natural disasters such as water shortages and floods. Glaciers at World Heritage Sites are melting at an accelerating pace, with a third of them set to disappear by 2050, according to new research released by UNESCO. These glaciers have been melting at an accelerated rate since 2000 due to rising temperatures caused by carbon dioxide emissions, according to a new study by UNESCO in collaboration with the International Union for Conservation of Nature. Cover Glaciers with “Greenhouse Cooling Patch”, Let the Glacier Cool

As a special and important component of the global ecosystem, glaciers are of great significance to maintaining regional ecological stability and regulating meltwater runoff. However, melting caused by climate change threatens this important resource. However, with global warming, the Dagu Glacier has melted significantly, and its total glacier area has shrunk from 2.65 square kilometers in 1980 to 0.54 square kilometers in 2020. Therefore, Will Legend joined forces with the Dagu Glacier Management Bureau and the Northwest Institute of Ecology and Environment Resources of the Chinese Academy of Sciences to form the “Glacier Sustainable Partners”, through “Let the Glacier Cool” to further strengthen scientific research on glacier protection, and use glacier-study tours as education and promotion, encourage the public to protect glaciers and water resources. The increasing emissions of greenhouse gases caused by human activities have led to global warming. The situation is like covering the Earth with a quilt, preventing heat from being reflected into space, causing the Earth’s temperature to rise. Currently, we are experiencing unprecedented rapid climate warming due to human activities, such as the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide produced by burning fossil fuels. As the temperature rises, the Earth also begins to suffer from “illness”. The reason is that everything, and all living things on the Earth are closely intertwined with each other. Once nature loses its ability to balance, humans will not be able to survive alone.

Will Legend advocates the use of green energy as a “Greenhouse Cooling Patch” to cool the Earth. Effectively reduce greenhouse gas emissions through clean energy such as solar power, wind power and hydropower. At the same time, we support the “Belt and Road Initiative” to promote the green and low-carbon transformation of international energy cooperation, and cooperate with especially developing countries, to carry out solar, wind and hydropower projects to increase the proportion of renewable energy power generation, and help the world reduce carbon emissions faster to achieve carbon peak and carbon neutrality goals, and practice the sustainable development of humans and nature. Will Legend “Green-blueprint Initiative”

Will Legend draws the “Green-blueprint Initiative” of symbiosis between humans and nature. “Green-blueprint” connects the government, and different sectors of society through conservation and charity programmes, and then implements it in the community through “Education and Promotion”, reaching the harmonious coexistence between people, society, economy and nature, to achieve peace, health and prosperity for sustainable development!

As global warming caused by climate change becomes more severe, Will Legend believes that programmes organized and led at the social and community levels can be implemented more effectively. Absorbing the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, adopting green energy to address climate change, and achieve long-term solutions through glacier, land and ocean conservation and education programmes are vital to humans and ecosystems. The essence behind the various sustainable development activities created by Will Legend is to make the public, and our next generations pay more attention to the “health” of the Earth from the perspective of education and popular science.
