'''Glaciers lost 6200 [4600 to 7800] Gt of mass (17.1 [12.7 to 21.5] mm global mean sea level equivalent) over the period 199''' '''3–2''' '''019 and will continue losing mass under all SSP scenarios''' ( ''very high confidence'' '''). During the decade 201''' '''0–2''' '''019, glaciers lost more mass than in any other decade since the beginning of the observational record''' ( ''very high confidence'' ''').''' For all regions with long-term observations, glacier mass in the decade 2010 '''–''' 2019 is the smallest since at least the beginning of the 20th century ( ''medium confidence'' ). Because of their lagged response, glaciers will continue to lose mass at least for several decades even if global temperature is stabilized ( ''very high confidence'' ). Glaciers will lose 29,000 [9000 to 49,000] Gt and 58,000 [28,000 to 88,000] Gt over the period 2015–2100 for RCP2.6 and RCP8.5, respectively ( ''medium confidence'' ), which represents 18 [5 to 31] % and 36 [16 to 56] % of their early-21st-century mass, respectively. {2.3.2, 9.5.1, 9.6.1, 9.6.3, 12.4}
