High mountains are the realm of the cryosphere_ snow, glaciers and permafrost give charm to mountain slopes, but at the same time protect them from atmospheric agents and contribute to their stability. Climate change, and in particular temperature increase, is however causing cryosphere reduction, exposing high mountains to an increasing instability. In this context, landslides are both an effect and an indicator of climate change impact on terrestrial systems. In particular from the hot summer of 2003, awareness of the ongoing climate change and its effects has gradually grown, thanks also to international research efforts. An alliance between citizens, public administrations and research institutions is urgently needed to understand the ongoing changes, develop future scenarios, and tackle climate change and its impacts.
