The present disaster adds another lesson: Some of Nepal's most consequential environmental risks cannot be fully monitored or managed within its borders.

The raging flash flood and mudslides devastating life and property didn't start in Nepal, but the heartbreak lands heavily there. Thanks @danielflitton and @LowyInstitute. You can read my take: https://t.co/mxqJPWap4w
