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.
Governments in our region and beyond must plan today for tomorrow's floods, in a warming world. Regret can be minimised, if not eliminated.
The latest evidence suggests that the Chinese scientific establishment understands the dangers of a planned Himalayan dam – the world's largest – more clearly than its political leadership is willing to acknowledge. With the livelihoods of two billion people at stake, the international community needs to weigh in.
