- The United Nations ‘World Water Development Report 2025 – the Mountains and Glaciers: Water Towers’ was released by UNESCO.
- The Asia-Pacific region is home to some of the world’s highest mountains and most extensive glacier systems — and is among the most vulnerable to climate change.
- Retreating glaciers threaten the food and water supply of 2 billion people around the world.
- The Hindu Kush Himalaya (HKH) region is experiencing the most dramatic losses due to climate change — retreating 65 per cent faster in 2011-2020 than in the previous decade.
- If temperatures rise between 1.5°C and 4°C, mountain glaciers worldwide are projected to lose 26 to 41 per cent of their total mass by 2100, compared to 2015 levels.
