"All glacier regions lose ice in 2025: WMO" — Xinhua · Humanitarian & Biosphere
The World Meteorological Organization () released a report stating that 2025 was the fourth consecutive year in which every major glaciated region on Earth experienced net ice loss. The report notes that between 2023 and 2025, glaciers lost roughly 1,400 gigatonnes of water cumulatively, with the three-year period 2022–2024 setting a record for the largest mass loss on record. This is part of a long-term trend driven by global warming, with direct consequences for sea-level rise and freshwater availability.
The claim is based directly on a WMO report, a primary source from a leading international scientific authority. The reporting by Xinhua is a reputable secondary outlet, and its factual summary aligns with the report's central findings. The underlying data is methodologically solid and widely accepted in glaciology.
This story is genuinely new, first reported on 18 September 2026 as the WMO released its latest findings; no earlier recirculation is indicated.
