A report released by @icimod describes vast changes in the Hindu Kush Himalayan region: glaciers are retreating more quickly, snowfall days are dwindling, and permafrost is melting.
These will have key impacts on states, societies, and biodiversity.

At 3C of warming — what the world is roughly on track for under current #climate policies — glaciers in the Eastern #Himalaya, which includes #Nepal and #Bhutan, will lose up to 75% of their ice. At 4C of warming, that ticks up to 80%.

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

New report from @ICIMOD shows that glacier retreat in the #Himalaya is accelerating, much of it irreversible. Details at bit.ly/46duAwt Impacts are increasingly severe. @EGU_CR @AGU_Cryo @MtnResearchMRI @EGU_TC @third_pole @pamirtimes @dbyeti

In our new paper in @NatureClimate we show how irrigated agriculture in South Asia will get more dependent on both meltwater and groundwater in the future. With @HesterBiemans @immerzeel @ChrisSiderius @arunbshrestha @SantoshNepalH2O @PhilippusWester nature.com/articles/s41558-0…

13/ In particular in High Mountain Asia, all studies acknowledge a colossal gap: the lack of observations.
Ice thickness is notoriously difficult and costly to measure, and measuring campaigns in High Mountain Asia should be a priority!
