“Climate change has already caused the loss of about one-third of mountain glaciers worldwide. This is not just a regional concern — this is a global emergency,” he said

He urged nations to act in line with the Paris Agreement and to support vulnerable countries lacking the technical capacity to monitor and manage their glaciers.
