The climate emergency is here and now for Mount #Everest and for the people and nature across the #HinduKushHimalaya. According to the recent #HIWISE report, glaciers in the HKH could lose up to 80% of their current volume by the end of the century on current emissions trajectories. Every increment of a degree of warming matters to #glaciers here and to the hundreds of millions of people that depend on them. We need urgent global action to #SaveOurSnow and ice before it’s too late. @Reuters @ContextClimate @context @ten10zing92

New report by @ICIMOD warns of irreversible changes to #HKH glaciers, snow and permafrost. Up to 80% glacier volume loss is predicted by century's end with implications for over 1 billion people relying on glaciers for water. https://t.co/nT09ntxgNn #MountainsMatter #HIWISE

Over 120 million farmers in the Indus, Ganges and Brahmaputra basins depend on meltwater from #glaciers and #snow for their livelihoods. Snowmelt supports the flow of major rivers across the #HKH. Read our summary for policy makers ➡️ https://t.co/yPCJto6qnk @ICIMOD #HIWISE

It’s been a busy week - on Tuesday our #HiWISE report was released after over two years of work https://t.co/zMsdhGjrNB, yesterday I travelled to Norway and today I arrived on #Svalbard, which is being as ridiculously photogenic as it usually is.

It feels good to see our months of work coming to fruition but the success will only feel real when decisionmakers take necessary actions based on these findings. #ClimateCrisis #HIWISE #SaveourSnow #HKHCryoNWaterRisks

permafrost in the region is prevalent but understudied - with upcoming studies with @meprashantbaral and @TR_Gurung we'll shed some light on that (2/4)

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 📑 Download the report ✒️Sign our declaration ❄️Join the global movement to #SaveOurSnow 👉https://t.co/LnU7OaKs4l #ActNow #FightFor1Point5 #ClimateAction #HIWISE @decappeal
