UNESCO and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) yesterday officially launched the International Year of Glaciers' Preservation at WMO headquarters, marking a crucial milestone in global efforts to protect glaciers that provide freshwater to over 2 billion people worldwide.

Dramatic changes in the Arctic, including an increase in wildfires, the greening of the Tundra and an increase in winter precipitation, are documented in the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s 2024 Arctic Report Card.

The Greenland Ice Sheet has shed about one-fifth more ice mass in the past four decades than previously estimated, according to a new paper published by researchers at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California.

The West Antarctic Ice Sheet will continue to increase its rate of melting over the rest of the century, no matter how much we reduce fossil fuel use, according to British Antarctic Survey (BAS) research published this week in the journal Nature Climate Change.

In a new report published today, the House of Commons Environmental Audit Committee points to research that the Arctic is warming four times faster than the rest of the globe.

Two catastrophic years have obliterated 10% of Swiss glacier volumes, with one extreme year following another. Glaciers in Switzerland lost 6% of their volume in 2022 while 2023 saw 4% destroyed, representing the second largest decline since measurements began.

A new study is warning that most coastal communities will encounter 100-year floods annually by the end of the century, even under a moderate scenario where carbon dioxide emissions peak by 2040.

The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) has released the State of the Global Climate report 2022, highlighting the continuous advance of climate change from mountain peaks to ocean depths.

A new research study shows that the seven worst years for polar ice sheets melting and losing ice have occurred during the past decade, with 2019 being the worst year on record.

A new study has found that as climate change causes ocean temperatures to rise, one of Greenland’s previously most stable glaciers is now retreating at an unprecedented rate.
