  6. South Asia needs stronger cross-border climate cooperation: Experts

    South Asian countries need stronger regional cooperation on #ClimateChange, #disaster preparedness and #energy security as #climate-related risks increasingly cross national borders, experts said at a parliamentary forum in #Thimphu today.
    For #Bhutan, experts said #ClimateResilience needs to be integrated into development planning as climate change creates increasing uncertainty for hydropower and raises the risks from natural disasters.

    Bhutan remains #CarbonNegative and has committed to carbon neutrality by 2050. The country aims to expand its #RenewableEnergy capacity to around 25,000 megawatts by 2040 through #hydropower and #solar.

    However, the forum highlighted Bhutan's heavy dependence on hydropower and generation deficits during the dry season.

    Sumedha Basu (PhD) urged Bhutan to explore ways to diversify its economy, saying the country is currently highly dependent on tourism and hydropower.

    "Hydropower is becoming increasingly uncertain because of climate change," she said.

    She said Bhutan should also strengthen its systems for #monitoring vulnerable areas and collecting real-time climate-related data to know exactly where changes are occurring.

    “As we navigate the intensifying impacts of the 2026 El Niño, the vulnerability of our global food systems require careful evaluation. With this year’s erratic weather patterns driving severe, prolonged droughts in some regions and unseasonal, devastating floods in others, the climate crisis is proving that it is not a distant threat; it is happening right now, in our fields and on our plates.
    This crisis is more visible in the Hindu Kush Himalaya (HKH) region. Often called the “water tower of Asia,” this vast mountain range sustains 240 million people across eight countries and provides essential ecosystem services to nearly 2 billion people downstream. When glaciers melt at accelerated rates and monsoons become unpredictable, the narrative often focuses solely on the mountain communities. But the truth is much broader: a disrupted harvest in the high hills of Nepal or Bhutan creates a domino effect. It leads to displaced populations, reduced agricultural output flowing into the Indus, Ganges, and Brahmaputra basins, and ultimately, skyrocketing food prices for families living in the sprawling downstream plains.
    The climate crisis respects no borders and recognizes no difference between altitude and sea level. Because this problem affects us all, the solution must protect us all. Fortunately, the means to overcome this challenge are already in our hands, locked within the ancient seeds of the mountains…”
