Thermal zero at 5,000 meters and melting glaciers, it's the summer of the full Alpine climate crisis: "Communities must be helped"

The article highlights the severe impact of climate change on the Alps during this summer, marked by extreme temperatures and glacial melting. Iconic scenes include waterfalls cascading down the Cervino at 4,000 meters and the disintegration of parts of the Ortles glacier. The situation is described as alarming, with zero-degree lines occurring frequently above 4,800 meters, leading to early snowmelt and critical conditions for glaciers and peaks. Environmental organizations such as Legambiente, along with other groups like Cai and Cipra Italia, have launched initiatives to address these issues through a joint platform called 'Governare le Alpi che cambiano.' These efforts aim to promote collective responsibility and European-level governance for glaciers, recognizing them as common goods.
