(01)INTRODUCTION
Earth is home to more than
200,000 glaciers.
But as temperatures rise,
glaciers are shrinking,
making them one of the most visible
indicators of climate change.
Glaciers provide us with many benefits,
from storing large amounts of
fresh water to helping cool the climate.
Losing the glaciers would be a disaster.

A WORLD WITHOUT GLACIERSA WORLD WITHOUT GLACIERSA WORLD WITHOUT GLACIERSA WORLD WITHOUT GLACIERS
Were all the world’s glaciers
and ice sheets to melt,
the sea level would
rise by 70 metres.
Millions of people
would be displaced,
water supplies disrupted
and the climate made
even more volatile.
Three scientists and adventurers
tell us why glaciers matter and
what we can do to help
stop their decline.
Knowledge is the first step
to a better future.
