From #Himalaya to #Arctic - #GlaciersAtRisk: A Wake-Up Call on #WorldWaterDay

Story by Namrata Dadwal, March 21, 2025

"This year on World Water Day on March 22, the UN is highlighting '#GlacierPreservation'. Why? Because these frozen reservoirs that supply freshwater to nearly two billion people are disappearing at an alarming rate due to #ClimateChange.

"According to the #Copernicus Climate Change Service (#C3S), Earth's #glaciers have lost over 8,200 gigatonnes of ice since 1976, leading to #RisingSeaLevels and #WaterScarcity concerns. Nearly 6,000 gigatonnes were lost between 2000 and 2023, with the 2010s being the worst decade on record for glaciers almost the annual ice loss was more than double that of the 1980s, with an average of 370 gigatonnes of ice vanishing each year."
