Climate change had major role in triggering Nepal floods, scientists say

Scientists state that climate change was a key factor in the glacial collapse that triggered floods in Nepal and Tibet, killing over 1,400 people. A report from the World Weather Attribution group indicates that the disaster resulted from a 'compound crisis' due to long-term warming and glacier degradation. July and August 2026 were recorded as the warmest months in the region, with temperatures about 5 degrees Celsius higher than normal.
