  1. Nepal must rethink its hydropower future

    Putting all its eggs in one basket is not a good idea in an age of climate breakdown

    #Nepal could generate up to 3,700MW of power mainly from run-of-river schemes that depend on the flow of water on rivers, and not large reservoirs. These plants are built right on fast-flowing #Himalaya'n rivers, and divert water through tunnels to power houses.

    “Nothing is left. The structures have all been swept away, many projects that were started during my tenure at the NEA have also been destroyed,” says Kulman Ghising, who headed the Nepal Electricity Authority #NEA till last year, and who fought the election in March from his Ujyalo Nepal Party.

  2. Nach der verheerenden #Sturzflut im #Himalaya mit mehr als 1.000 Toten dauern die Rettungsarbeiten an.

    Zahlreiche Dörfer, Brücken und #Wasserkraftwerke wurden zerstört. Ein massiver #Gletscherabbruch gilt als Auslöser. #Nepal fordert internationale Unterstützung und verweist auf seine geringen CO2-Emissionen bei gleichzeitig wachsenden Folgen des #Klimawandels. Zudem soll gemeinsam mit China das #Frühwarnsystem verbessert werden.

    New Scientist: *The Nepal Disaster: How Climate Change is Reshaping the World*

    youtube.com/watch?v=0LK9budwbAw

    "A devastating climate disaster has killed at least 1,200 people in Nepal. A mass of ice and rock came crashing down off the Langtang mountain into the valley below. The climate crisis has made events like this much more likely.

    This is just one of many retreating glaciers. We’re also on track for a record year of ice-loss in the European alps. As the world is reshaped before our eyes, what does this mean for the planet - and the 1.9 billion people who live downstream of glacier ice mountains?

    This all comes as experts predict this year’s Super El Nino event will be the biggest in 1,000 years - plus an admittance from The UN Environment Programme that we will overshoot 1.5 degrees of global warming.

    To discuss the tragedy in Nepal and the growing concern in the Alps, Rowan Hooper and Penny Sarchet are joined by Professor of Glaciology Bethan Davies and climate journalist Alec Luhn.
