## Resource

A massive glacial collapse on the Nepal-China border unleashed catastrophic flash floods, now confirmed to have killed at least 1,446 people and left over 6,669 missing — with Nepal’s toll alone soaring to 6,150 unaccounted. Bodies recovered: 1,403, 105 identified. Climate change is being blamed as Nepal, a low-emission nation, bears the brunt of Himalayan instability. The Prime Minister heads to the UN next week to demand global action, while reconstruction costs could hit $5 billion. This disaster is a stark wake-up call for the planet.
