Global glacier mass change in 2025 - Nature Reviews Earth & Environment

Glaciers lost 408 ± 132 Gt of mass during the hydrological year 2025, equivalent to 1.1 ± 0.4 mm sea-level rise. Since 1975, glacier mass loss has totalled 9,583 ± 1,211 Gt, equivalent to 26.4 ± 3.3 mm of sea-level rise, with six of the highest mass-loss years on record occurring in the past seven years.

2) The US EPA cancelled $280 million worth of grants for Alaskan rural communities intended to improve energy access and climate resilience

3) Swedish researchers have found that from 2023-2024, 8 of the country’s glaciers have completely melted away. 30 more are at risk of the same fate in the coming years
