Himalaya approaching tipping point as glaciers melt faster: study

A study released this month warns that the Himalaya are approaching a tipping point with glaciers melting faster than a decade ago.

The region is heading toward peak water by mid-century, threatening water security across an area that underpins more than 20% of India's GDP.

Recent climate-linked disasters include a Himalayan glacier collapse on the Nepal-Tibet border that left at least 1,300 dead and 5,300 missing.
