Organizations - happy to pay consultants exorbitant fees for no work or poor work
#BUT
no chance for managers, officers or associates for a pay rise
Treat your core employees well - they sustain people’s position and pay !

1/4: When the recent flood hit so close to home, sweeping away parts of the village where friends and relatives live, it wasn’t just a news story or a research topic—it was a heartbreaking reality. Seeing the ancestral homes of Sherpa families in ruins was just numbing.

ICIMOD’s latest report, Water, Ice, Society, and Ecosystems in the #HinduKushHimalaya, is published today.
Building on the 2019 Hindu Kush Himalaya (HKH) assessment report, this major new study provides the most accurate assessment of #snow, ice, and #permafrost to date.
The peer-reviewed study warns of grave consequences to the region, which provides #freshwater services to a quarter of the world's population and is home to four global #biodiversity hotspots.
Key findings:
🔹Himalayan #glaciers disappeared 65% faster in the 2010s than in previous decade
🔹The glaciers could lose up to 80% of their current volume by end of this century
🔹Availability of #water in the Hindu Kush Himalaya is expected to peak in mid-century then decline
🔹#Floods and #landslides are projected to increase over the coming decades
🔹Effects of the changing #cryosphere on fragile #mountain habitats are particularly acute
