ForumAlpinum 2026
With a focus on environmental challenges, socio-economic transformations and adaptation strategies, the ForumAlpinum 2026 positions itself as a moment of multidisciplinary technical-scientific and political reflection on the consequences of deglaciation in Alpine regions (and beyond), with particular attention to environmental, cultural and economic impacts.

Realigning within Planetary Boundaries: Equity and Sustainability in Resource exploration
And Swiss glaciers continue to melt
Glacial melting in Switzerland was once again enormous in 2025. A winter with low snow depth combined with heat waves in June and August led to a loss of three per cent of the glacier volume. This is the fourth largest level of shrinkage since measurements began. Consequently, the ice mass reduced by one quarter in the last ten years. This was reported by GLAMOS, the glacier monitoring network in Switzerland, and the Swiss Commission for Cryosphere observation (SCC) of the Swiss Academy of Sciences.

Nouvelle année record pour le pergélisol dans les Alpes suisses en 2024
Le pergélisol des Alpes suisses n’a jamais été aussi chaud qu’au cours de l’année hydrologique 2024. La diminution de la quantité de glace du sol ainsi que l’augmentation de la vitesse des glaciers rocheux se sont également poursuivies. Ce constat se base sur 25 ans de mesures coordonnées dans le cadre du réseau suisse d’observation du pergélisol PERMOS qui, au cours de cette période, a pu voir une nette accélération des changements du pergélisol en Suisse.
