Madrid, Dec 12 (EFE/EPA).- In the year that Iceland lost its first glacier due to climate change, experts from around the world have gathered at COP25 in Madrid to stress the urgency of the effects of this global crisis on mountainous regions.“We have to end the war against nature,” said Carole Dieschbourg, Luxembourg’s minister of environment, on Wednesday at the United Nations’ climate summit event "From Andes to Alps and other mountains."Mountains are seriously affected by climate change, so the study of their alterations has become crucial.“What happens is, it warms faster at higher elevations, so even if we could reach a 1.5-degree world by 2100, it would still reach 2 degrees in mountains,” David Molden, director-general of the International Center for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD), which has been working in the Himalayan region for 36 years, said.
