## Resource

The Himalayas are racing toward a climate tipping point as glaciers melt 65% faster than just a decade ago, fueling unstable glacial lakes and deadly floods that have already claimed over 1,300 lives in Nepal and Tibet. Beyond flooding, warming is thawing permafrost and triggering landslides, creating cascading disasters—India has flagged 56 lakes as “very high risk.” Millions across South Asia depend on these rivers for water and livelihoods, making the stakes existential. Alarmingly, about a third of the melt is driven by black carbon from brick kilns—a regional problem countries can tackle now. Experts propose a 10-point plan: cut black carbon, boost monitoring, and strengthen disaster response. With no borders safe from these threats, urgent regional cooperation is vital to protect millions and preserve this fragile ecosystem.
