Melting Glaciers Have Raised Global Sea Levels by 2 cm
On 19th February 2025, a study titled “Community estimate of global glacier mass changes from 2000 to 2023”, revealed that glaciers worldwide have lost 273 billion tonnes of ice annually over the past 25 years.
- This mass loss has led to a 2 cm rise in global sea levels this century, increasing the risk of coastal flooding and accelerating climate change.
Key Findings of the Study
- Glaciers have lost between 2% and 39% of their ice regionally and about 5% globally, surpassing ice loss from Greenland and Antarctica.
- The rate of sea level rise has more than doubled, from 0.18 cm ....
