Rapid melting of Himalayan Glacier to cause food and water shortage to 800 million people in South Asia and South-East Asia including China.
36% Glaciers in the regions of Himalayas and Hindukush are to vanish by 2100.
The Himalayan and the Mekong basin are at greater risks. Failing to take timely actions will affect millions of people in the region
The Shrinking Glaciers are the biggest challenge to the policy makers. This is because they contribute to the seasonal run off. This is very common in the climatically drier western regions. It increases the risks of outburst floods adding to the expansion of unstable proglacial lakes.
