Following the first webinar on the physical science, climate attribution and cascading hazards behind the Rasuwa-Bhotekoshi Climate Catastrophe 2026, Webinar 2 turns to a critical question:
How can better data, monitoring, early warning and frontier technologies help reduce future losses and strengthen resilience across the Himalaya?
The session will bring together experts from Nepal and internationally to explore:
🔹 Avalanche and rockslide early warning
🔹 GLOF and extreme mountain flood monitoring
🔹 Crowdsourced and humanitarian mapping
🔹 GeoAI and AI-assisted damage assessment
🔹 Data-driven Loss and Damage assessment
🔹 Translating science and technology into actionable early warning and response
