Dear fellow Rotarians

Support the "Let the Glacier Cool" Initiative

In 2020, Rotary International officially recognized environmental protection as its seventh area of focus. In alignment with this commitment, the United Nations also declared 2025 as the International Year for Glacier Protection, aiming to raise global awareness of the critical role glaciers play in climate systems, ecosystems, and water cycles, while calling for the protection of these "water towers of the world." Rotary District 3450 is proud to support the "Let the Glacier Cool" initiative, launched in collaboration with the Northwest Institute of Eco-Environment and Resources of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the DaGu Glacier Management Office, and a network of esteemed research institutions, scholars, and experts.

To champion this cause, District Governor Cassy Cheng will lead a delegation of Rotarians to the DaGu Glacier in Sichuan from** 26 to 30 October 2025**.
