Recent studies show that Swiss glaciers have shrunk by a quarter over the past decade, with alarming reports indicating a 3% reduction just this year alone, marking it as the fourth-biggest retreat on record. With over 1,000 small glaciers already disappeared and the melting process accelerating, scientists are raising concerns about the future of these vital ice formations. Even in high-altitude areas, glaciers are melting at an unprecedented rate, underscoring the urgent need for climate action.
