A section of the 359-mile border between Italy and Switzerland is redrawn due to climate change. Switzerland and Italy redraw their national boundary due to melting Alpine glaciers.

Large sections of the Swiss-Italian border are determined by glacier ridgelines or areas of perpetual snow, but melting glaciers have caused these natural boundaries to shift.

The section being redrawn sits beneath Matterhorn, one of Europe’s highest peaks.

Switzerland’s glaciers have lost 10% of their ice volume in 2022-2023, more than ever recorded. More than half of Switzerland’s electricity supply comes from hydroelectric facilities, which are also threatened by glaciers melting faster.
