SUMMARY:2025 International Mountain Day
DESCRIPTION:Celebrated on 11 December annually\, the United Nations’ International Mountain Day is an international observance day whose goal is to raise awareness about the role that mountainous regions play in the lives of people and their importance to our planet. \nThe theme of the 2025 celebration is: \nGlaciers matter for water\, food and livelihoods in mountains and beyond” \nInternational Mountain Day 2025 is an opportunity to highlight the importance of glacier preservation for agriculture\, water security and the livelihoods of vulnerable mountain communities. \nGlaciers\, vast reserves of ice and snow found across the planet\, are far more than frozen landscapes – they are lifelines for ecosystems and communities. Yet\, these critical components of the Earth’s systems are undergoing rapid and alarming transformations with profound consequences for us all. \nThe United Nations General Assembly proclaimed 2025 as the International Year of Glaciers’ Preservation to raise awareness on the vital role glaciers\, snow and ice play in the climate system and water cycle\, as well as the far-reaching impacts of rapid glacial melt. It aims to promote global collaboration\, strengthen scientific research\, and promote policies and actions to protect glaciers and cryospheric systems. \nGlaciers and ice sheets hold around 70 percent of the world’s freshwater. Their accelerated melting represents not only an environmental crisis\, but a humanitarian one\, threatening agriculture\, clean energy\, water security and billions of peoples’ lives. Their retreat\, driven by rising global temperatures\, is a stark indicator of the climate crisis. Melting glaciers and thawing permafrost increase risks such as floods\, glacier lake outburst floods\, landslides or enhanced erosion and sediment\, endangering downstream populations and critical infrastructure. \nEconomically\, sectors like agriculture\, hydropower\, mountain tourism and transportation feel the strain of glacier changes. For many Indigenous Peoples\, glaciers are sacred\, and their disappearance signifies a loss of identity and connection to nature. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nInformation about the UIAA’s own activities on 11 December will be published shortly.

SUMMARY:Tubbalunganer Exposé Climbing Festival
DESCRIPTION:The 2nd edition of the Arc’teryx Tubbalunganer Exposé returns to Mount Buffalo\, Victoria from 20-22\, March 2026. The event is built around three pillars: community\, safety and stewardship\, which guide a vision of a gathering that is adventurous\, inclusive and environmentally positive. \n\n\n\n\nBetween days on the granite\, the festival comes alive through shared meals\, lakeside coffees\, gear chats\, films\, music\, and long conversations that run well past sunset. Think campfires\, cold beers\, demo hubs\, repair cafés\, panel talks\, and impromptu hangs where beginners\, locals\, guides and lifelong climbers all mix freely. \nYou don’t need to know anyone when you arrive — that’s the point. EXPOSÉ creates space to meet partners\, swap stories\, learn from each other\, and feel part of a climbing community that values openness\, respect\, and good times as much as movement on rock. Come for the clinics. Stay for the people.\n\nEvent website (including information on clinics\, programme and prices) \n— \nThis event has been selected as one of the profiled Rock Climbing festivals approved to appear on the UIAA’s annual calendar of rock climbing festivals worldwide. A dedicated website page about the UIAA’s work in rock climbing will be available shortly.

SUMMARY:Flashy Foxy Mini Fest
DESCRIPTION:Flash Foxy originated to empower women climbers and offer a virtual space to connect over climbing\, being outside together\, and building community.

Presently\, Flash Foxy stands with women and genderqueer climbers – including trans and gender non-conforming folks – who need a space to pursue their love of the sport without having to deal with historic barriers to access. \nIts Mini Fest takes place from 15-17 May in Red River Gorge\, KY. \nWebsite\nRegistration\nProgramme \n— \nThis event has been selected as one of the profiled Rock Climbing festivals approved to appear on the UIAA’s annual calendar of rock climbing festivals worldwide.
