1 min read
A report by Systemiq and the Integrated Mountain Initiative finds Himalayan glaciers are melting 65% faster than a decade ago, with nearly 200 glacial lakes rated high risk. The region underpins over 20% of India's GDP, supporting agriculture, hydropower, and water systems for hundreds of millions. The Hindu Kush Himalaya could lose up to 80% of its glacier volume by 2100 if trends continue.
