Major losses from Earth\u2019s ice sheets and mountain glaciers can occur at temperatures well below 1.5\u00b0C. Lead authors of two 2025 papers \u2013 one on ice sheets, the second on glaciers \u2013 urged governments in a press conference at SB62 in June 2025 to adopt far more ambitious climate commitments to prevent the worst impacts. Historical records show that even current warming levels at 1.2\u00b0C, if sustained, will likely lead to several meters of sea-level rise over coming centuries from both polar ice sheets. Earth\u2019s glaciers face an equally dire fate, with four regions \u2013 the European Alps, Rockies of the Western U.S. and Canada, Iceland, and Scandinavia \u2013 committed to losing at least half their ice at or below sustained 1\u00b0C. These same regions lose nearly all ice at 2\u00b0C. Speakers included Dr. Chris Stokes, Durham University; Dr. Harry Zekollari, Vrije Universiteit Brussel; and Dr. James Kirkham, AMI Chief Science Advisor at ICCI.<\/p>\n
