Even 1.5°C Warming Could Wipe Out over Half of World’s Glaciers, Studies Show
- The “35 by 35” target would raise electricity’s share of global final energy use from nearly 24% in 2023 to 35% by 2035.
- Climate Action Tracker said the target should be translated into specific goals for countries and sectors and paired with clean power, renewable energy, efficiency improvements, and fossil-fuel phaseouts.
- Two studies reported that Switzerland’s glaciers lost 20% of their volume in five years.
- The studies warned that exceeding 1.5°C would cause irreversible damage.

A new United Nations-backed report has revealed that even a temporary exceeding of the 1.5-degree limit on global warming would cause permanent damage to glaciers and polar ice caps. Scientists warned that temperatures must be lowered as quickly as possible to protect the cryosphere, and in the long term, kept below 1 degree Celsius.
What does it mean concretely if the world fails to stop global warming at 1.5 degrees? Researchers examine the consequences on the world's ice – and come to worrying predictions.
