Global Glaciers at Risk

Caption

Lower-lying mountain regions in Central Europe, western Canada, the United States, Central Asia, and the equator-near parts of the Andes and African ranges could lose more than half of their glaciers before 2040. The graphic shows clockwise: the darker the shading, the earlier the loss.
