Nepal emits less than 0.1% of global CO2 emissions... but is one of the most vulnerable countries to climate disaster. A massive landslide and flash flood tore through the Lhende Khola River that flows from China into Nepal. At least 330 people were killed and 1,400 are missing across Nepal and China's Tibet. Scientists believe the cause was the sudden collapse of a glacier in the Himalayas – sometimes called the "third pole" due to massive stores of ice. And they are melting. Nepal's glaciers have lost one third of their ice in 30 years as global temperatures rise – making mountain slopes unstable and prone to flash floods. The U.S. and Europe alone account for 47% of historical CO2 emissions. Nepal's share of global carbon emissions is close to zero – but it's one of the countries paying the price.
