Everyone is ignoring the fact that the matter is becoming very serious.
As climate change wreaks havoc on human life and threatens the lives of 2 billion people, many more are at risk. Asia is increasingly concerned about climate-related changes in the Hindu Kush-Himalayan water system.
There are ten important rivers that rise in the Hindu Kush-Himalayan region and are home to at least 2 billion people. The Ganges and Brahmaputra, which flow through India and Bangladesh, the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers in China, as well as international channels such as the Mekong and Salween, are among the ten rivers.

The sector is already facing a crisis, according to a study published by the China Water Risk Think Group “serious danger” from the effects of climate change such as melting glaciers and severe weather.
The think tank emphasized that the difficulties are getting worse as a result of the development of water-intensive energy infrastructure and that each river faces “increasing and multiplying water risks” if we fail to reduce emissions. have to do it.
According to last year’s research, if the Himalayan glaciers continue to melt, more than a billion people will be affected.
Melting of glaciers and snow are important factors in the region, and if they persist through this century, they may eventually stop giving water altogether, based on a study conducted by a team from IIT-Indore.
In 16 countries that are still largely dependent on fossil fuels for their energy needs, 10 rivers are credited with supporting and maintaining 75% of hydropower, including 44% of coal-fired electricity.
