Global Glacier Melting status in 2025

June 8 , 2025 4 hrs 0 min 14 0
  • If the world gets warmer by 2.7°C due to the current trajectory of climate policies, only 24% of the world’s present-day glaciers will remain.
  • Limiting global temperature rise to 1.5°C — as adopted in the Paris climate agreement — could preserve up to 54% or twice as much glacier mass.
  • The world’s glaciers would still lose 39% of their mass, compared to 2020 levels, and that would lead to a sea level rise of 113 mm.
  • Among the most vulnerable regions were the glaciers in Scandinavia, Rockies in Western Canada and the US, and European Alps.
  • In the Hindu Kush Himalayas, only 25% of ice from 2020 levels will be left at 2°C of warming.
