Nepal hosts environment conference as Himalayan glaciers melt

  • A conference focused on climate change and its effects on the Himalayas began on Friday in Kathmandu, Nepal, addressing the future challenges faced by mountainous regions and humanity.
  • Nepal faces high disaster risks from climate change, with increased flash floods and avalanches partly caused by melting glaciers on its mountainous terrain.
  • The conference brings together ministers from India, Bhutan, and the Maldives, with organizers planning to issue a Kathmandu declaration once the discussions conclude on Sunday.
  • The leader of Nepal emphasized that safeguarding the mountains is essential for the survival of humanity, drawing attention to the Himalayas' current intense environmental pressures and their delicate ecosystems.
  • Researchers caution that a temperature rise over the next several decades or centuries could result in the Himalayas losing as much as 80% of their glaciers, which would increase the likelihood of rock slides and avalanches.
