Rising temperatures are causing significant changes in the Himalayan region, including the loss of snow and permafrost, which threatens ecosystems, water resources, and the livelihoods of millions living downstream. The region's increasing vulnerability to climate-induced disasters, such as floods and landslides, underscores the limitations of local mitigation efforts. Without substantial international support, including climate finance and loss and damage funding, the Himalayan region faces escalating risks to its environment and communities.
