Opinion / 尼泊尔

Nepal’s deadly mountain disaster exposes gaps in cross-border early-warning systems as climate change makes cascading Himalayan hazards more complex and unpredictable.
Devastating flash floods in Nepal highlight the growing risks from melting glaciers and climate change, underscoring the urgent need to strengthen early-warning systems and greater accountability for climate-related disasters.
The dangerous flooding in Nepal and Tibet has demonstrated, once again, the need for prearranged disaster-risk financing to prepare for the economic chain reactions triggered by natural disasters.
