160e anniversaire de l'UIT - 17 mai 2025


L'Union internationale des télécommunications (UIT) a commémoré 160 ans dédiés à connecter le monde le samedi 17 mai à Genève, Suisse, lors de la Journée mondiale annuelle des télécommunications et de la société de l'information. Lors d'un événement public à Genève, la Secrétaire générale de l'UIT, Doreen Bogdan-Martin, a déclaré : « L'UIT est l'agence des Nations Unies pour les technologies numériques. Nous collaborons à travers le système des Nations Unies, ici à Genève et dans le monde entier. Chaque fois que vous envoyez un e-mail, chaque fois que vous recevez un message, passez un appel téléphonique, utilisez vos réseaux sociaux, c'est l'UIT en action.» Depuis sa fondation le 17 mai 1865, l'UIT a été à l'avant-garde de la technologie pour faire progresser l'innovation, le multilatéralisme, la sécurité et la croissance. L'UIT œuvre pour un monde où chacun, partout, peut bénéficier de la technologie en gérant l'utilisation internationale du spectre des fréquences radio et des orbites satellitaires, en développant des normes pour faire progresser la technologie – telles que l'intelligence artificielle et l'informatique quantique – et en travaillant à connecter les 2,6 milliards de personnes dans le monde qui sont encore hors ligne. « Aujourd'hui, nous célébrons l'héritage de ceux qui nous ont précédés, des pionniers qui voyaient les communications non pas comme un privilège mais comme un facilitateur fondamental pour le progrès, pour la paix et pour le développement. Réengageons-nous à la coopération et à la mission qui nous a guidés pendant 160 ans – cette mission de connecter le monde.» a déclaré Bogdan-Martin.

WMO - Press conference: State of Global Water Resources Report 2025 (embargo lifts 6am CET 17 Sept.) ENG FRA

As world’s water reserves change, countries must prepare for a new reality: WMO

New data showing that rivers were at their lowest level for decades last year provides further evidence that the climate crisis is real and countries must act immediately to protect themselves from the increasing threat to communities and livelihoods, the UN World Meteorological Organization (WMO) said on Thursday.  
The key findings from WMO’s State of Global Water Resources 2025 report covering the hydrological cycle and extreme events in the five-year period to last year:

  • 2025 was one of driest years for river discharge in 35 years
  • Past seven years have seen abnorfmal river flows
  • Water storage on Earth’s land surface has decreased in past decade
  • Widespread glacier loss across all regions for fourth consecutive year
  • Asia and Africa are regions most affected by water-related disasters
  • Water data availability has improved, but gaps remain in hard-hit areas

Highlighting the long-term decline in the Earth’s freshwater storage and glacier melt, WMO Secretary-General Celeste Saulo explained that the planet’s water reserves used to act as a planetary “savings account” that absorbed the occasional dry season, avoiding a water crisis. “One of the central stories of the 2025 report is what is happening to that savings account? And the simple answer is that we are depleting it,” she told journalists in Geneva.

Groundwater reserves are equally stretched and have been in decline since 2014, WMO’s report states, with nearly two-thirds of monitored wells worldwide showing levels lower than the historical norm and indicating a shift “further toward deficit…not recovery”.
“At the same time, we are seeing more water-related disasters,” Ms. Saulo said, while also stressing that the currently strengthening El Niño “will increase the risk of drought in some areas, and flooding in others”. 
Glaciers disappearing

In 2025, for the fourth consecutive year, every major glaciated region on Earth lost ice mass, leading to short-term hazards including floods and long-term water insecurity, according to WMO.

Responding to a question about whether the changing global water cycle might have contributed to the deadly Nepal-China flooding disaster, Ms. Saulo explained that melting ice and rock was just one factor in the chain of events that ultimately sent a massive and deadly wall of water and debris downstream on 26 August, killing at least 1,367 people.

“You asked if it could happen again? Absolutely; the problem in this region is that there’s 63,700 glaciers at the last count,” she told a Press Conference in Geneva. “Even if you’re looking with remote sensing with satellites at these glaciers, you might see some faults, you might see some slight shifting, that does not mean necessarily catastrophic collapse. So, in order to plan for this, it’s very, very difficult. But the international community is looking very hard at ways in which we can bring people together to solve some of these monitoring issues.”

Data indicates that glaciers shrank between 2023 and 2025 with cumulative losses of 1,400 gigatonnes of water – or about one third of annual fresh water needs.

Every major glacier region on Earth lost ice for the fourth consecutive year.

“All 19 glacier regions around the globe lost ice; in Central Asia, Iceland, the Russian Arctic and western Canada and the United States, it was among the three worst years on record,” said Wayne Jenkinson, WMO’s Director of Hydrology and Cryosphere.

Some regions with smaller glaciers such as Central Europe, the Caucasus, the western Canada and the United States may already have reached “peak water”, Mr. Jenkinson warned.

“After this point, the glacier gives less meltwater each year simply because there is less ice left to melt. That matters for every community downstream that relies on water during hot, dry summers,” he explained.

Narelle van der Wel, WMO’s Head of Cryosphere Monitoring, Predictions and Services, stressed that while some further glacier loss is unavoidable, the eventual scale of the decline is not predetermined.

“Some glacier loss is inevitable, but total loss of glaciers is not yet inevitable,” she said, pointing to emissions reductions as central to limiting future losses.

Preparing for moving baselines

The report does not attribute every observed change to climate change alone. WMO says pressure on water resources and natural variability also contribute.

Mr. Jenkinson said governments need to prepare for “moving baselines” as historical patterns become less reliable.

“The situation 30 years ago is not where we are today,” he said. Countries, he added, need to prepare “for those changes that have really already arrived”.
