Mountains safeguard millions—and they need safeguarding too.
This #InternationalMountainDay, we highlight UNDP Nepal’s leadership in protecting mountain communities from the growing threat of Glacial Lake Outburst Floods (#GLOFs).
With support from the @theGEF, #Nepal successfully lowered Imja Lake by 3.4 metres, installed GLOF early-warning systems, mobilized local committees, and strengthened community preparedness across the Imja–Dudh Koshi corridor—directly protecting lives in one of the Himalayas’ highest-risk zones.
Building on this success, @theGCF has now approved $36.1 million to scale up this work nationwide—helping Nepal reduce GLOF risks in four additional glacial lakes and strengthening resilience for over 2.3 million people.
💧 Expanding controlled drainage to more high-risk lakes
📡 Upgrading hydromet and early-warning systems
🌿 Restoring over 150 hectares of degraded land
🛡️ Empowering communities with climate-risk training and preparedness
In a rapidly warming world where Himalayan glaciers are retreating fast, this is climate action that protects lives, ecosystems and the future of our mountains.

Strengthening GLOF Resilience in the Himalaya
Dr. Bhanu Pratap, Scientist at #NCPOR, moderated a session on Adaptation to Glacial Lake Outburst Floods (#GLOFs) in the Himalaya during the National Workshop on Adaptation Planning for India’s Water Sector under Climate Change, organized by National Institute of Hydrology (@NIH_Hydrology), Roorkee. The session brought together experts from ministries and institutes to discuss science, challenges, solutions, and resilience strategies for GLOF risk assessment.

The multiple factors behind northern #PakistanFloods & disasters, ranging from #cloudburst to #GLOFs, from melting #permafrost & dislodged mountains to haphazard settlement & infrastructure development
#bbcurdu has me on set to explain in their program

As #SagarmathaSambad clearly outlined, the threat of #GLOFs in Nepal looms large.
Hear UNDP Nepal’s youth climate influencer @poornimashresth share stories from Everest showing the stakes—and the solutions.
Global solidarity must follow. #MountainAndMe

In the past year, I have done some stories on #glaciers, #GLOFs, winter snowfall in the #Himalaya, etc. A 🧵:
Winter snowfall over the Himalayas is showing a decreasing trend. What does it mean for the glaciers?

🧊 The Third Pole is warming at 0.3ºC per decade, causing disasters like glacial lake outburst floods. 💦
💪 As #WorldGlaciersDay approaches, see how we strengthen forecasting and adaptation: https://t.co/rt2JBGnDRV

Presented a piece of my PhD research at the Water-Earth System PhD School Annual Conference 2025 at UNIL. Focused on Glacial Lake & GLOF Formation in the Hindukush, Afghanistan. Exploring triggers, onset processes, and drivers of changes.
