The rapid melting of Himalayan glaciers poses severe risks to South Asia, including India. Increased glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs) threaten downstream communities, infrastructure, and agriculture. In India, nearly 200 glacial lakes are classified as high-risk, with millions of people exposed to potential disasters. The economic impact is also significant, as Himalayan water supports 20% of India's GDP through hydropower and irrigation. The region's vulnerability to natural disasters is expected to rise, with cascading effects on food security, migration, and geopolitical stability.
