Switzerland's glaciers are experiencing unprecedented melting due to Europe's record-breaking summer temperatures. The loss of Antarctic ice is also significant, with areas the size of France disappearing. Despite the growth in renewable energy, fossil fuel emissions continue to rise, and the current rate of climate action is not fast enough to meet global targets.
Key facts
- Switzerland's glaciers are melting at an unprecedented rate due to Europe's record-breaking summer.
- Antarctic ice has disappeared at a rate comparable to the size of France.
- Fossil fuel emissions are still rising despite the growth in renewable energy.
- Each of the past 11 years has been the warmest on record.
