this summer, the heat wave in many countries in Europe is rolling, and the continuous high temperature and drought further accelerate the melting of glaciers.

　　According to reports, the volume of Alpine glaciers has shrunk by about 60% since 1850. At this rate, half of Switzerland's 1,500 Alpine glaciers will disappear within the next 30 years. Currently, the average temperature in Switzerland is about 2 degrees Celsius warmer than pre-industrial levels.

　　In Germany, glaciologists say 2022 will be a record year for glaciers to melt. It is speculated that the melting of glaciers in the entire Alps this year may increase by about 50% compared with previous years due to factors such as rainfall, snowfall reduction and drought and hot weather.

　　In addition, the rate of glacier melt in the polar regions is accelerating. A new study by the Finnish Meteorological Institute shows that the Arctic region has been warming almost four times faster than the world average over the past 40 years. In Greenland, glaciers are melting at an unprecedented rate.

　　Scientists pointed out that with the abnormal changes of climate, the uneven distribution of water resources in time and space is further intensified, the efficiency of water resources utilization declines, and the cost of water resources utilization increases.

　　Moreover, the problems of floods, droughts and deterioration of the water environment will become increasingly serious with global warming. Therefore, countermeasures to adapt to the impact of climate change on water resources must be formulated as soon as possible.

　　Second, to adapt to the impact of climate change on the coastal zone. Sea level rise caused by global warming will seriously affect coastal ecosystems, biological resources and coastal environment, and will also increase flood disasters.

　　In the face of global warming, all countries and regions around the world need to participate in the continuous strengthening of monitoring and early warning of sea level rise. Build dams and other protective engineering facilities, formulate ecosystem protection measures, and formulate sustainable strategies suitable for global development.
