COP26 Video of the Week: “Cryosphere Science and Adaptation Solutions to Scale Up Climate Action in the Hindu Kush Himalaya” with ICIMOD

This session focuses on high-impact solutions that can deliver climate action in the Hindu Kush Himalayan (HKH) region at the speed and scale necessary to face threats from glacier loss; and suggests opportunities to strengthen the resilience of mountain communities and economies. Organized by ICIMOD, the International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development, the event took place in coordination with ICIMOD’s Cryosphere Pavilion Hub in Kathmandu, Nepal.
