Most such previous research investigated transparency in the context of HL with little examination of Global warming is a major threat to South Asian countries the outcomes of transparency in HL. Based upon this process especially Nepal Pakistan India etc. possibly even more disaster risk can be reduced and managed through efficient affected. The Himalayas are melting .
