Climate Change Impacts and Vulnerability in the Eastern Himalayas
The International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD) has announced the release of ‘Climate Change Impacts and Vulnerability in the Eastern Himalayas’ – a summary of the findings of an assessment carried out by ICIMOD and partners with support from the MacArthur Foundation on the vulnerability of mountain ecosystems to climate change and the potential impacts on biodiversity, water availability, agriculture, hazards, and general human well-being. The assessment builds on the results of surveys, workshops, stakeholder consultations, and technical papers by individual experts to develop preliminary climate projections for the region and assess climate change vulnerability. It is hoped that these results will both inform conservation policy at national and regional levels, and stimulate the coordinated research that is urgently needed.
