From the article:
The amount of ice in the Alps has shrunk 17 per cent since the turn of the century, highlighting the severity of climate change as countries grapple with how to slow global warming while also tackling the coronavirus pandemic.
The drop is equivalent to 22 cubic km, and the largest decline was seen in Switzerland, the German Aerospace Centre said. That's based on the work of researchers from the Friedrich-Alexander-University Erlangen-Nuremberg who used satellite data.
