Glacier loss is accelerating at an alarming rate, with 10001,000 glaciers disappearing annually now and potentially 30003,000 per year by 2040. Current climate policies will result in 79% percent of the world's glaciers vanishing by 2100, threatening water supplies for 2 billion people, and raising sea levels by 25 centimeters whileand increasing deadly glacial lake floods unless strong emission cuts are made.
