"I welcomed this document because, unless highly productive agricultural areas are protected from the effects of flooding, emerging economies could see an abrupt turnaround in their development and a rapidly growing food security problem. The melting of the glaciers in the Himalayas is initially expected to increase river flows for two to three decades, but flows will then decrease substantially in the longer term. It is thus essential to develop mitigation and adaptation strategies to address droughts in the future. Immediate action must be taken with a view to reducing carbon monoxide and methane emissions, mainly through the promotion of research and investment in technology aimed at reducing polluting emissions, as a fast-action method of halting glacial and snow melting. Carbon monoxide and methane have a short atmospheric life, so there therefore needs to be a combined effort to reduce emissions and take swift action to dramatically and rapidly alleviate the threat of glacier lake outburst floods."@en1
