📄📌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.

Excellent contributions from stakeholders for implementation of #TROSA2 in 🇧🇩. #Sustainable mgmt & #governance of #transboundary #rivers in South Asia require committed partnerships between government, affected communities & #CSOs.

Nearly 1/4 of the world’s population depends on water from the #HinduKushHimalaya mountains. We need urgent #ClimateAction and our parter @icimod has stepped up their work with new support from Sweden 🇸🇪 2023-2026! Ping @Sida @ArcticCouncil @SMHI @BageLennart @NKirchnerSthlm
70 years ago today, Nepali climber Tenzing Norgay Sherpa and New Zealander Edmund Hillary became the first men to successfully reach the top of the world: #Everest #Sagarmatha #Chomolungma
Today, the descendants of the first summiteers, @HelenClarkNZ the former Prime Minister of New Zealand and the last survivor of the first ascent, Kanchha Sherpa, are gathering at the foothills of the mountain to mark #Norgay and #Hillary’s historic achievement.
But today, those at Namche Bazaar, are also looking ahead: and, calling from the top of the world for #ClimateAction – because Everest, and all the mountains of the #HinduKushHimalaya, are now undergoing unprecedented and largely irreversible changes due to global temperature rises.
Two thirds of #glaciers here are set to vanish by 2100 on current emissions trajectories, with devastating consequences for the 2 billion who live downstream.
On the anniversary of the first ascent @icimod, the leading institute for the study of the Hindu Kush Himalaya, in association with @MtnResearchMRI, the @nepalmountains and @UNmountains, has launched an urgent cry for global action to #SaveOurSnow and #FightFor1Point5
