Himalaya se apropie de un punct fără intoarcere pentru milioane de oameni
Himalayan glaciers are melting faster than a decade ago, threatening water supply in the region. A recent study indicates a critical point may be reached by mid-century. Following a glacier collapse in August, over 1,300 deaths were confirmed, with thousands missing. The retreating glaciers leave behind unstable glacial lakes, posing risks to millions. Only 21 out of approximately 40,000 glaciers are currently monitored. As the region approaches a 'maximum volume' point, water supply consequences will be significant, impacting India's economy and millions of lives.
