Kathmandu (AFP) – UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres urged the world Monday to “stop the madness” of climate change as he visited Himalayan regions struggling from rapidly melting glaciers to witness the devastating impact of the phenomenon. “The rooftops of the world are caving in,” Guterres said on a visit to the Everest region in mountainous Nepal, adding that the country had lost nearly a third of its ice in just over three decades.
“Glaciers are icy reservoirs –- the ones here in the Himalayas supply fresh water to well over a billion people,” he said.
