Tipping Point: 1.5 Degrees in the Himalayas

  • Summary

  • We delve into a highly unique and climate-vulnerable region of the world, the Hindu Kush Himalayas. Basanta Shrestha, Director of Strategic Cooperation at ICIMOD, discusses how the Himalayan region is already experiencing the consequences of climate change and why the Paris Agreement's goal of 1.5-degree warming is too hot for the Himalayas.

    We examine the necessary qualities to create effective partnerships and explore ways to bring 'mountains from the margins.' Learn about mountain tipping points, ecosystem services, the urgent need for increased financing to drive climate mitigation and adaptation for mountain communities, and more.

    Join hosts, Kaydee Barker & Cody Sanford, at the end to discuss key takeaways from our interview and actionable items that people from anywhere can do to support mountain sustainability.
