Glacier melt will cost Belgians money

A new study reveals that 76% of the world's glaciers could vanish if global temperatures rise by 2.7°C, impacting the Belgian economy. The study, co-authored by a Vrije Universiteit Brussel glaciologist, highlights the accelerating rate of glacier melt. Even a 1.2°C increase would result in 40% of glaciers disappearing, causing sea levels to rise. The melting glaciers will affect freshwater availability, increase natural disasters, and threaten tourism. The study emphasizes that actions taken now will determine how many glaciers can be saved.
