The devastating flash floods and debris flows that struck Nepal in August, following a glacial collapse in the Himalayas, have provided a stark reminder of the growing scale and unpredictability of climate-related emergencies.

This session explores how Everest Fire and Rescue is building resilience on the front line of a climate emergency, adapting its people, capabilities and response strategies to deal with increasingly complex and unpredictable incidents.
