Last update: 7 hours agoHimalayan Disaster Response: Nepal and China are still searching for nearly 3,000 missing after a glacier-triggered flash flood and mudslide along the Nepal–Tibet border, with 682 bodies recovered and a late breakthrough in Nepal: rescuers inserted a pipe into a blocked tunnel at the Trishuli 3A hydropower site to pump air and prepare excavation for trapped workers. Climate Risk: Scientists and UN officials say warming is melting glaciers and destabilizing high-mountain ice and rock, making such disasters more likely and harder to manage. Cross-border Data Sharing: Nepal’s foreign minister says it agreed with China to expand real-time hydrological data sharing, while China’s embassy rejects claims it withheld warnings. Regional Preparedness: India is stepping up glacier and glacial-lake monitoring in border states after the disaster. Climate Benchmarks: Copernicus reports a new global record for daily average sea surface temperature (21.1°C on Aug 22), tied to a strengthening El Niño. Pacific Diplomacy: Pacific leaders’ summit in Palau is set to press Australia on climate action and fossil-fuel phaseout.
