Cemex released the 30th edition of the Cemex Nature Book Series: ‘The Last Ice,’ which emphasizes the urgent need to protect our polar regions and mitigate climate change.
‘The Last Ice’ combines visuals captured by world-renowned photographers and commentary from conservation experts, focusing on the critical importance of polar ice caps for the future health of the planet. This volume aims to inspire and elevate the collective voice to address the global environmental crisis resulting from a warming world, the erosion of biodiversity, and the escalating impact of human beings on our planet.
“In the pages of ‘The Last Ice’, readers will not only travel to some of the most remote frozen lands but also comprehend the vital importance of preserving the integrity of polar ecosystems, while grasping the magnitude of this global challenge,” said Fernando A. González, CEO of Cemex. “As global leaders convene at the COP28 Climate Summit in Dubai to drive global climate actions, this year’s book responds to this challenge and underscores Cemex’s commitment to protecting our natural heritage.”
Cristina Mittermeier, an influential conservation photographer and co-founder of the non-profit organization SeaLegacy, is the book’s editor.
Since 1993, Cemex has published a new book every year to guide its global audiences and reinforce its commitment to promoting a culture of biodiversity conservation. This year’s volume is published in collaboration with SeaLegacy and other conservation organizations that continuously seek constructive, nature-based solutions to climate change.
