The disaster involved devastating debris flows and floods that killed more than 1,300 people. Researchers point to rapid warming in the Himalayas, which contributes to permafrost thawing and glacial thinning, driving geohazard cascades beyond adaptation limits. The floods have raised urgent concerns regarding the adequacy of cross-border warning systems in high mountain regions.Why it mattersRapid warming in the Himalayan regi
