Swiss glaciers lost 19.4% of their volume over five years
Since 2021, Switzerland has lost 19.4% of its glacier volume, and another 5.5% in the first eight months of 2026. Matthias Huss, head of the Swiss glacier monitoring network GLAMOS, said that glaciers can no longer support the water balance the way they did a few years ago, and that this will affect water supply over time.
