Teams will climb a mountain in each of the countries the 25zero mountains are situated in during the course of COP21, the united nations' climate change conference (Nov 30 - Dec 11 2015, Paris).
Live video, images and messages about the rapidly disappearing glaciers will be transmitted to decision makers at COP21 and interested viewers by the 25zero expedition teams. These images and stories will show the severity of climate change and the need for urgent action to combat it.
Arup work closely with cities around the world on developing resilience strategies to climate impacts. The information and evidence of glacier loss that the 25zero undertaking will deliver supports our efforts to educate and engage with clients and communities on this global challenge. This will also support Arup attendees at COP21, working to reinforce our key messages of resilience and sustainability.
The team will summit 3 mountains in three continents during the 12 days of COP21 - Carstensz Pyramid in Indonesia, Mount Stanley in Uganda and Chimborazo in Ecuador.
