LIVE: Earth’s Glaciers Are Disappearing: What It Means for Water, Food, and Climate | N18G

Glaciers worldwide are melting at unprecedented rates, with all 19 glacier regions experiencing mass loss for the third consecutive year, the UN warns. In 2024 alone, glaciers lost 450 billion tonnes of ice, marking the fourth-worst year on record. Scientists caution that many glaciers, particularly in North America, Europe, and Central Asia, may not survive the century. This crisis threatens freshwater supplies for billions, heightens the risk of floods and landslides, disrupts agriculture and energy production, and accelerates rising sea levels. Experts stress that urgent action to curb global warming is crucial, as glacier loss is now a matter of survival.
