Some of the world's most iconic glaciers will disappear by 2050

Some of the world's most famous glaciers, including the Dolomites in Italy, Yosemite and Yellowstone parks in the United States, will disappear by 2050 due to global warming, regardless of the temperature increase scenario, according to a UNESCO report .

The United Nations cultural agency UNESCO, which monitors some 18,600 glaciers in its 50 World Heritage sites, says a third of them will disappear by 2050.

While the rest can be saved by keeping global temperature increases below 1.5 degrees Celsius compared to pre-industrial levels, in a business-as-usual emissions scenario, around 50 percent of these World Heritage glaciers could disappear almost entirely by 2100.

The study "shows that these glaciers have retreated at an accelerated rate since 2000 due to CO2 emissions, which are warming temperatures," UNESCO said.

World Heritage glaciers, as defined by UNESCO, represent about 10 percent of the world's glacier areas and include some of the world's most famous, the loss of which is highly visible as they are focal points for global tourism.
