Unprecedented Glacier Retreat Over Past Six Years, Reports WMO and WGMS

The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and the World Glacier Monitoring Service (WGMS) report that the past six years have seen some of the most rapid glacier retreats on record, with 2022-2024 marking the largest three-year loss of glacier mass ever documented. In many regions, glaciers, once considered to have "eternal ice," are predicted not to survive the 21st century. This alarming trend underscores the severe impacts of climate change on global ice reserves.
