Editorial Staff · 1 min read

On June 29, 2026, Switzerland's glaciers will officially run out of their snow reserves, a significant environmental event that highlights the impact of climate change.

This day, referred to as Glacier Loss Day, signifies that every liter of meltwater will contribute to the ongoing mass loss of these glaciers.

From 2003 to 2022, approximately 200 square kilometers of glacier area have been lost, underscoring the urgent need for climate action.
