In 2022, more frequent and intense #heatwaves contributed to the second-greatest average mass balance loss for Alpine #glaciers around the world since the start of the record in 1970. Glaciers in Switzerland lost over 6% of their volume, a record loss. (4/10)

Rising temperatures could reduce the area covered by alpine #glaciers, exposing vast areas of land to the atmosphere for the first time in thousands of years. As the ice retreats, conservation efforts face both challenges and opportunities.

📢 "The failure to embrace 1.5 °C as the ceiling of global warming is disappointing." – @DusikJan on the #OnePlanetPolarSummit results.

Nice words, decades and summits are not enough – we need urgent cuts to greenhouse gas emissions 🚨🌡️

The Paris Call for #Glaciers and #Poles is adopted at the #OnePlanetPolarSummit!

Thank you to all mobilized countries & organizations, who made of this Summit an important path towards better protection of the cryosphere & adaptation policies to face melting ice 🤝 - One Planet Summit

⛰️In 2023, #glaciers worldwide suffered the largest mass loss recorded in over 50 years.

This is the second consecutive year in which all glaciated regions on the planet experienced ice loss.

This is a global wake-up call. This is the #StateOfWater.💧

Europe’s #glaciers, crucial for water provision, are melting at alarming rates 🧊💧

👉🏽 2024 saw a 2.5% glacial volume loss, exceeding the decade's average.
👉🏽 80% of Swiss glaciers could disappear by 2100, threatening water supplies and ecosystems.

🌡️ #Glaciers are melting at an alarming pace, releasing methane.

Methane, a potent greenhouse gas, contributes substantially to global temperature rise, compounding the problem.
