The rapid melting of Himalayan glaciers poses severe risks to millions of people in South Asia who depend on these glaciers for freshwater. The melting also increases the likelihood of glacial lake outburst floods, which can cause widespread destruction. The recent flash flood in Nepal's Rasuwa district, which claimed over 1,300 lives, is a stark reminder of the devastating consequences of glacier melt. The region's vulnerability is exacerbated by its minimal contribution to global greenhouse gas emissions, highlighting the disproportionate impact of climate change on developing nations.
