O=C=O‘Catastrophic’ 2023 lake outburst in India driven by glacial melt and permafrost thaw<a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/ClimateChange" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ClimateChange</a> played a key role in the “catastrophic” 2023 floods in the Himalayan state of Sikkim in <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/India" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#India</a>, a new study says. The breach of one of the “largest, fastest-growing and most hazardous” glacial lakes in Sikkim, the South <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Lhonak" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Lhonak</a> lake, led to cascading floods that killed 55 people and washed away a 1,200 megawatt (MW) <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/hydropower" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#hydropower</a> dam. The event was identified as a glacial lake outburst flood (<a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/GLOF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GLOF</a>), which is a sudden release of water from a lake fed by glacial melt. <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Sikkim" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Sikkim</a> is a small Himalayan state in north-east India, bordering <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/China" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#China</a> in the north, <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Bhutan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Bhutan</a> in the east, <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Nepal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Nepal</a> in the west and the state of West <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Bengal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Bengal</a> in the south.
