No Glaciers on Kilimanjaro by 2050

  • According to a UN report, glaciers across the globe - including the last ones in Africa - will be unavoidably lost by 2050 due to climate change.
  • A third of glaciers located in UN World Heritage sites will melt within three decades, a UNESCO report found.
  • Mount Kilimanjaro's last glaciers will vanish as will glaciers in the Alps and Yosemite National Park in the US.
  • They will melt regardless of the world's actions to combat climate change, the experts say.
  • The report, which marked projections based on satellite data, came as world leaders prepare to meet in Egypt for next week's COP27 climate change conference.
  • About 18,600 glaciers have been identified across 50 UN World Heritage sites. They represent almost 10% of the Earth's glacierised area and include renowned tourist spots and places sacred to local populations.
