💨 Abstract

The UNESCO report reveals the fastest rate of glacier ice loss on record since 1975, with a total of 9,000 gigatons lost. This loss, equivalent to an ice block the size of Germany, is causing sea levels to rise and threatening water sources essential for agriculture and hydroelectric power. The accelerated loss is primarily due to climate change caused by fossil fuel burning and is expected to worsen as temperatures continue to rise.
