If we fail to invest in the Hindu Kush Himalaya now, the consequences will be global. If people cannot build futures in the mountains, where do we expect them to go? #InternationalMountainDay #Mountains #ICIMOD @icimod.bsky.social

Hope is not enough. Dialogue is not enough.
We know the science.
We have the tools.
Now we must cut emissions—urgently and deeply.
This is our Decade. Let’s not waste it. ❄️🔥 #ClimateAction #Cryosphere

But momentum is building:
🔹 World Glaciers Day launched
🔹 Sagarmatha Sambaad called for urgent action
🔹 The Decade of Cryospheric Sciences (2025–2034) began at #UNOC3 in Nice
Global awareness is rising. Will action follow?

For the Hindu Kush Himalaya, this crisis is real:
🏔 Livelihoods shattered
🏔 Economies destabilised
🏔 Billions in investments at risk
#HKH #ICIMOD #MountainVoices

The WMO predicts a 70% chance that the 2025–2029 average will exceed 1.5°C. The poles are warming even faster. This isn't abstract—it’s already destroying lives, economies, and ecosystems. #ClimateEmergency

Scientific consensus is clear:
🔹 Ice loss is accelerating
🔹 Warming is exceeding safe limits
🔹 Mountain communities are at risk
Still, we’re failing to respond at the scale or speed required. #IPCC #HKH #GlacierLoss
