The Lewis Glacier lost 62% of its surface in 5 years. GEF has invested for decades to protect mountain ecosystems and water sources in Africa. @LewisPugh’s @UNEP - @theGEF- supported swim demonstrates why #UNEA7 must scale solutions now. unep.org/news-and-stori… #LewisGlacierSwim

📣 ANNOUNCEMENT 📣 I'm about to attempt a swim at 4,500m in a lake beneath one of Africa's last glaciers, the Lewis Glacier on Mount Kenya. At that altitude you walk slowly, breathe deeply, feel every step. Swimming will be even harder: go too fast and you can't breathe; go too…
