Limiting warming to 1.5°C could prevent twice the glacier loss seen in a +2.7°C scenario. Even if global temperatures were to stabilize at their current level, about 40 percent of the world’s glaciers are still expected to disappear. A new study conducted in collaboration with ETH Zurich reveals that if global warming exceeds the targets [...]
