Climate Impacts at the Third Pole, the Himalayas + Glacial melt

Come on a Journey with us to understand the impacts of climate change at the Third Pole, the Himalayas.
The cryosphere (glaciers, snow & permafrost) at the Third Pole are critical for the stabilization of the global climate.
The water from this region is used by nearly 2 billion people downstream (or one quarter of the global population) as well as countless species.
The Third Pole is the front lines of climate change.
Already we are seeing glacial melt, water scarcity, cloudbursts, disruption of native habitats, unpredictable seasons, extreme heat, etc.
We travel to remote villages across the Third Pole to understand what is happening so we can bring these messages to the world.
