– 21 January 2025: Launch of IYGP 2025 – Webinar “Tackling Glacial Melt and Water Challenges in the Hindu Kush Himalaya: A Science Diplomacy Approach for Regional Cooperation”
The Hindu Kush Himalaya (HKH) region is home to some of the world’s most critical glacier systems. These systems sustain significant rivers like the Ganges, Brahmaputra, and Indus, supporting the livelihoods of over 1.5 billion people. However, climate change, accelerating glacial melt, and the increasing frequency of extreme water events pose severe risks to water security, ecosystems, and regional stability. Practical transboundary cooperation is essential to address these shared challenges and build resilience for the shared river systems.
Aligned with the IYGP 2025 initiative, this side event leveraged global momentum to spotlight innovative, cooperative approaches to securing water resources in the HKH.
