Recent floods in Nepal and Tibet followed ICIMOD’s warnings about melting glaciers. These reports highlighted doubled ice loss rates and increased flood risks across the region. A catastrophic flash flood triggered by a glacier collapse killed hundreds and left many missing. Smaller glaciers are shrinking faster, intensifying hazards like glacial lake outburst floods. Regional cooperation is vital for understanding and preparing for these cross-border mountain disasters.
