Nepal Floods: Are The Himalayas Becoming More Unstable?
The devastating floods in Nepal have raised fresh concerns about the growing risks facing the Himalayas. In this edition of Climate Corner, NDTV's Gargi Rawat speaks to geologist C.P. Rajendran, who explains the possible role of ice avalanches and accelerating glacier melt, the impact of infrastructure on fragile mountain slopes, and why better monitoring, sustainable development and cooperation between Himalayan countries are needed. He also warns of a long-term water security challenge as glaciers continue to retreat.
