Summary
[edit]DescriptionGlaciers in Bolivia melting away (Copernicus).jpg |
English: Bolivia is home to around 20% of the world's so-called “tropical glaciers”, which are very sensitive to the effects of climate change. According to the Andean Glaciers and Water Atlas published by UNESCO, Bolivia has lost around half of its glaciers in the last 50 years. Experts estimate that current trends in global warming will cause the loss of 95 percent of the permafrost in Bolivia by 2050, including almost all its glaciers. These images, acquired by Landsat-5 on 14 May 1987 (left), and by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites on 25 October 2021 (right), show evidence that the Chacaltaya Glacier has completely disappeared. Copernicus satellites and services provide open data that allow us to study the consequences of climate change around the world and develop mitigation and adaptation strategies. |
