Melting glaciers could create new ecosystems covering an area between the size of Nepal and Finland by the year 2100, researchers said. Glacial area outside the Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets could be halved because of human-caused climate change under a high-emissions scenario, they said in a study published in the journal Nature. This glacial melting could cause a rapid ecological shift as novel ecosystems develop to fill emerging new habitat, they wrote. However, analyses of this change at a global scale are lacking, they said. Jean-Baptiste Bosson, from the Conservatory of Natural Areas of Haute-Savoie, France, and colleagues used a global glacier evolution model to examine the predicted twenty-first century trajectory of 650,000 square kilometres (sqkm) of glaciers found outside the Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets. Deglaciation, or glacial retreat, will continue to occur at a similar rate regardless of the climate scenario until 2040, the modelling predicted using glacier outlines, digital elevation models of subglacial terrain and climatic data.

Furthermore, under the new guidelines, loan sanction letters will need to mention the costs associated with transitioning from a floating to a fixed interest rate in the future. Lenders will be required to ensure that even in the event of significant rate hikes, the EMIs will continue to cover the monthly interest payments, preventing any increase in the outstanding loan balance from the previous month after the EMI is paid. The RBI's circular on resetting floating interest rates for EMI-based personal loans said that lenders should not solely assess repayment capacity based on prevailing interest rates but they should factor in a cushion to ensure borrowers can meet their payment obligations even if interest rates climb.In the past, interest rates have experienced fluctuations of up to six percentage points within a single loan cycle, which means the interest burden had sharply increased and typically the loan tenure rose by years. Lenders have sometimes refrained from adjusting EMIs, as extending the EMI duration would result in higher interest earnings.
