  "summary": "The UN and Nepal have expressed concern over the growing threat of climate change to the Himalayas following deadly floods that caused nearly 3,000 people to go missing and 682 deaths. The disaster, which occurred near the high-altitude border with China, was caused by a glacial collapse triggered by melting glaciers due to global warming. Nepalese Foreign Minister Shisir Khanal has spoken with his Chinese counterpart Wang Yi, agreeing to share real-time hydrological data to mitigate such risks. UN climate chief Simon Stiell emphasized that the disaster serves as a reminder of the fragility of mountain environments and the increased likelihood of such tragedies due to a warming climate.",
