The proposal highlights the critical risks posed by climate change to the Himalayan region, which directly impacts India and its neighbours. The melting of glaciers and increased frequency of natural disasters, such as floods and landslides, threaten the livelihoods of millions. For India, the stakes are particularly high, as the Himalayan river systems, including the Ganga, Brahmaputra, and Indus, are vital for agriculture, drinking water, and hydropower. Disruptions in these systems could lead to water stress, infrastructure damage, agricultural losses, and displacement in densely populated areas downstream. The 2021 Chamoli disaster and recent Himalayan floods underscore the urgent need for coordinated regional action.
