Himalayan Floods Expose Limits of Human Resilience in a Warming World The catastrophic floods that ravaged Nepal and Tibet last week are a stark reminder of the growing threat posed by climate change to human lives and communities.
The 750 confirmed deaths and over 3,000 missing persons make this disaster one of the deadliest Himalayan floods on record.
Rescue efforts have been hindered by bad weather, swollen rivers, and treacherous terrain, forcing multiple suspensions of operations despite the use of advanced rescue technologies.
