KATHMANDU, OCT 02 -
Some 39 youths representing different countries in the Hindu-Kush Himalayan region are taking part in a six-day symposium on ‘Empowering Youth with Earth Observation Information for Climate Actions’ organised by the International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD) in support with National Aeronautics Space Agency (NASA) and United States Agency for International Development (USAID).
The youths believe that without concerted effort and cooperation among countries in the region, the vulnerabilities posed due to climate change are unavoidable. Representing Nepal, Krity Shrestha said her country being mountainous is threatened by climate change due to glacier melting. More details...
