Staying close to 1.5°C on the other hand preserves at least some glacier ice in all regions, even Scandinavia, with 20-30 per cent remaining in the four most sensitive regions; and 40-45 per cent in the Himalayas and Caucuses; stressing the growing urgency of the 1.5°C temperature goal and rapid decarbonization to achieve it.

The stones left at the base of the glacier carry messages by two world-famous authors, Manjushree Thapa and Andri Snaer Magnason, in English, Nepali and locally spoken Tibetan.

The study highlights that the economic damage will not be evenly distributed. Developing nations, often located in regions more vulnerable to extreme weather events, will bear the brunt of the impact.

He described the UN as “a force of construction” that is always strengthening how it works and delivers, proving the maxim that global problems need global solutions.

Even though the 1.5°C threshold has been exceeded temporarily, continued warming could make such events more frequent and severe, intensifying impacts on biodiversity, human health, and food security.
