A new study has found that melting glaciers are posing a major risk of flash flooding to 15 million people living in the Hindu Kush Himalaya region.

The study, published in the journal Nature Climate Change, found that the melting glaciers, caused by rising temperatures, are leading to an increased risk of flooding, which could have devastating consequences for the region.

The study’s authors warn that the increased risk of flooding could lead to an increase in water-borne diseases, loss of life, and displacement of millions of people.

The study’s authors also found that the region’s glaciers are melting at a rate of about 1.5 meters per year, which could lead to a significant increase in the amount of water flowing into the region’s rivers and streams.

The authors of the study call for increased efforts to mitigate the impact of climate change on the region, including better management of water resources, improved infrastructure, and better access to early warning systems.

The findings of the study are a stark reminder of the need to take action to address climate change and its impacts.
