Climate change: Kilimanjaro's and Africa's last glaciers to go by 2050, says UN
The glaciers that cap Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania will be gone by 2050
Glaciers across the globe - including the last ones in Africa - will be unavoidably lost by 2050 due to climate change, the UN says in a report.
Glaciers in a third of UN World Heritage sites will melt within three decades, a UNESCO report found.
Mount Kilimanjaro's last glaciers will vanish as will glaciers in the Alps and Yosemite National Park in the US.
They will melt regardless of the world's actions to combat climate change, the authors say.
