An international study, published in Science, has found that only 24% of present-day glacier mass will remain if the world were to warm to 2.7°C, the trajectory set by current climate policies. In contrast, limiting warming to 1.5°C — the target of the Paris Agreement — would preserve 54% of glacier mass.

To know more, read the study "Glacier preservation doubled by limiting warming to 1.5°C versus 2.7° - Harry Zekollari et al., Science, 2025, Vol 388, Issue 6750 pp. 979-983, DOI: 10.1126/science.adu4675.
