Conference: The Last Day. From the Glacier to the City. A Journey from the Adamello Glacier to the Heart of Brescia

On Friday, 21 November, the conference “The Last Day. From the Glacier to the City” was held at Palazzo Loggia in Brescia, concluding the Una Sola Terra Festival. The event featured the presentation of the photographic project “The Last Days,” which documents the rapid retreat of the Adamello glacier. The conference was part of the International Year of Glacier Preservation promoted by UNESCO and the WMO, and was organized with the involvement of the University of Brescia, the UNITA – Universitas Montium alliance, and several local partners.

Venerdì 21 novembre si è svolto presso il Salone Vanvitelliano di Palazzo Loggia il convegno “The last day. Dal ghiacciaio alla città. Un viaggio che parte dal ghiacciaio dell’Adamello e arriva fino al cuore di Brescia”.

L’incontro rappresenta l’evento conclusivo del Festival Una Sola Terra. In questa occasione è stato presentato il progetto fotografico “The Last Days”, volto a testimoniare il drammatico arretramento del ghiacciaio dell’Adamello.

Il convegno si è svolto nell’ambito delll’Anno Internazionale della protezione dei ghiacciai promosso da UNECO e la WMO (World Meteorological Organization) e ha coinvolto l’Università degli Studi di Brescia, l’Alleanza Europea UNITA – Universitas Montium e quattro Associated Partner UNITA: Comune di Brescia, Parco dell’Adamello, CAI Brescia e A2A.

Il racconto visivo e scientifico ha confermato l’urgenza di una sfida ambientale: secondo il modello matematico messo a punto dal gruppo di ricerca dell’Università degli Studi di Brescia il ghiacciaio dell’Adamello rischia di scomparire entro la fine del secondo a causa di criticità ambientali dovute al cambiamento climatico.

Il convegno ha così rappresentato una preziosa occasione per l’Università degli Studi di Brescia, UNITA e quattro Associated Partner per sensibilizzare la cittadinanza sul rapido arretramento dei ghiacciai sulle Alpi italiane, coniugando arte, scienza e consapevolezza ambientale.
