Glaciers in Austria could disappear in around 40 years. Of the 93 glaciers examined, 92 have recently lost mass.

Researchers draw a bitter conclusion about the state of the glaciers in Austria: “Nothing works here anymore.” In March 2024, experts reported that New Zealand's glaciers were shrinking significantly faster than long assumed. In autumn 2023, the Swiss Commission for Cryosphere Observation announced to the Academy of Natural Sciences with a view to 2022 and 2023: The glaciers in Switzerland have shrunk by ten percent in two years.
