Himalayan Devastation: A Wake Up Call for Climate Adaptation in the Developing World Recent flash floods in the Himalayas have left more than 1,300 people missing and at least 273 confirmed dead in Nepal's Tibet region and China.
The sheer scale of this disaster underscores that climate change is a human issue, particularly for countries with limited resources to adapt.
The collapse of mud and rock into a Himalayan river was triggered by glacial rock and ice collapsing, followed by a massive debris flow.
