Main Body
[Impact]
-i- Emergency of dormant disease and viruses as they escaped into the atmosphere
eg Melting of permafrost due to global warming
-ii- Impact on biodiversity: As per IPBES: over one million species are under the threat of extinction. This can be attributed to cryospheric change at a very fast pace
-iii- Impact on livelihood of people as it can trigger:
-iv- Efforts to tame climate change can go for a loss due to sudden and rapid cryospheric changes
eg NDCs at Glasgow

[Measures to tackle this threat]
-i- General measures include fast tracking our efforts to accomplish Paris target (2°C) and Glasgow commitments
-ii- Specific measures include limiting encroachment on natural resources and mindless expansion
eg According to Global Footprint Network
Earth Overshoot Day has advanced to July
-iii- Structural Measures: strengthen climate institutions with inclusivity
