  6. 🌍 Eine schwere Sturzflut im #Himalaya hat in #Nepal innerhalb weniger Minuten ganze Orte verwüstet. Hunderte Menschen kamen ums Leben, viele Familien verloren Angehörige, ihr Zuhause und ihre Existenzgrundlage. Benötigt werden jetzt Lebensmittel, sauberes Wasser, Hygieneartikel, medizinische Versorgung und sichere Unterkünfte.

    “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…”

    “For years, the biggest climate warning from the Himalaya was easy to picture because glaciers were shrinking on the roof of Asia. Now, researchers are pointing to a quieter signal, one that can look almost harmless from a distance. The mountains are getting greener.
    New research [link above] shows alpine vegetation moving higher across six Himalayan regions from 1999 to 2022, pushed in part by warming and reduced snow depth. That might sound like nature recovering, but in this fragile landscape, more plant cover at extreme heights may change how snow is stored, how water runs downhill, and how rivers behave for communities far below…”

  13. Die #Schneedecke im #Himalaya erreicht ein 23-Jahres-Tief. Das ist nun das dritte Jahr in Folge mit drastisch geringen Werten.

    Rund zwei Milliarden Menschen sind auf das #Schmelzwasser angewiesen. Forschende warnen vor wachsender #Wasserknappheit und fordern bessere #Dürrevorsorge, regionales #Wassermanagement und Zusammenarbeit entlang der großen #Flusssysteme Südasiens.

    bbc.com/news/articles/cvgly8y1

    Durch #Gletschersee-Ausbrüche und #Überschwemmungen verlieren Menschen wie Komal Sher ihre Häuser und Lebensgrundlagen.

    Bis zu zwei Drittel des #Himalaya-Eises könnten bis Ende des Jahrhunderts verschwinden, was die Risiken weiter erhöht.

    #Evakuierungen, #Frühwarnsysteme und #Notfallübungen helfen, reichen aber nicht aus.
