šļø In 2024, every glaciated region on Earth reported losses due to melt for the third year in a row.
The graph below shows glacier mass change from 1976-2024, highlighting the alarming trend of accelerating annual loss.
Why does it matter?
š As highlighted in the WMO
#StateOfWater 2024 Report, this single year of meltwater raised global sea levels by 1.2 mm, amplifying flood risks for hundreds of millions of people living in coastal zones.
š§ Many regions depend on glaciers, snow, and ice for their freshwater supplies, essential for drinking water, agriculture, and sustaining life. As glaciers disappear, these lifelines are vanishing too, putting communities worldwide at risk.
We must act now. Help us amplify the
#Glaciers2025 messages and call for urgent climate action.
