    • WMO Data Shows Rising Glacier Melt Driving Sea Level Increase

    By on March 30, 2026

    Geneva: The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) has reported a significant decline in ice mass across Iceland and the Pacific coast of North America during 2025, raising concerns over the accelerating rate of glacier loss.

    According to the WMO’s State of the Climate 2025 report, global ice mass levels ranked among the five lowest recorded since 1950, despite not exceeding the sharp decline observed between 2022 and 2023.

    The report indicated that glacial melt contributed حوالي 21 percent of global sea level rise between 1993 and 2018. Ocean warming remained the primary driver at 42 percent, followed by melting ice sheets in Greenland (15 percent) and Antarctica (8 percent).

    Data from NASA showed that glaciers worldwide lost an average of 267 billion metric tons of ice annually between 2000 and 2019. The rate of loss increased from 227 billion tons per year (2000–2004) to 298 billion tons annually (2015–2019).

    The findings highlight the continued acceleration of ice loss linked to global climate change.
