📄📌PRESS RELEASE:

Alarmingly low snow levels this year in Hindu Kush Himalaya threaten water security for hundreds of millions.

2024 - an "extraordinary below normal snow year" according to ICIMOD’s Snow Update Report, and could have devastating consequences for large downstream population centres that are reliant on mountain water.

Snow persistence (the time snow remains on the ground) has plummeted, and falls are particularly steep in the western Hindu Kush Himalaya region, where snow’s contribution to water supply is the highest.
Persistence is down approx.
🔹30% in Helmand, Tarim, amd Amu Darya rivers;
🔹20% in Indus, and Ganges;
🔹15% in the Tibetan Plateau, Yangtze and Brahmaputra.

Only the Yellow River sees a dramatic increase in snow persistence: up approx. 20%

ICIMOD warns relevant water management officials to initiate drought management strategies and calls for rapid decarbonization of economies.

His unmatched legacy will remain as a shining example for years and generations to come.

Indeed, the world can learn a lot from Bangladesh’s climate adaptation and disaster management.

Över 770 miljoner människor i Afrika söder om Sahara och Asien saknar tillgång till elektricitet och mångdubbelt fler lider av återkommande strömavbrott. Sidas nya satsning ska ge 2,3 miljoner människor tillgång till el.

My first time visiting #Barguna district, with its distinct location by the Bay of Bengal. Met many villagers in #Pochakoralia working with #climate #adaptive agriculture. So much to discover and learn about #resilience in #Bangladesh. 🇸🇪🤝🇧🇩 @SwedeninBD @LocalResilienc1

“Rainfall shocks becomes your destiny”. @WorldBank research shows that children and families are harmed for their lifetime by droughts. We need to prevent these poverty shocks through financing and institution-building. @sida at #water event at World Bank #annualmeetings
