Fear of an increase in global risk

Scientists warn of increasing risks associated with rockfalls and landslides caused by earthquakes and melting permafrost, which are being accelerated by climate change. Etienne Berthier, a French glaciologist, notes that such phenomena are more likely in regions like the Himalayas due to terrain and tectonic activity. Similar risks exist in areas like Alaska, though they occur in uninhabited zones. In the Alps, record-breaking heat this summer has led to numerous deadly rockfalls, many linked to climate change. The Swiss municipality of Randa fears a glacier collapse and has set up safety zones.
