Storylines
•Risks to water in South Asia emanates from both climate and non-climatic drivers
•Melting of glaciers and its impacts and risks on mountain people and downstream–entirely attributable to anthropogenic climate change
•Groundwater over-exploitation–and its impacts on agriculture andcities, is mostly driven by non-climatic factors, though exacerbated by CC–and is largely a result of poor policies
•Actions needed are different
•Saving our glaciers needs global community to adhere to their climatepledges;
•While sustainable use of groundwater needs more national and local action
Disaster risk is increasing
Floods, droughts, landslides, glacial lake outburst floods
One-third of disasters are floods,many crossing national borders
More than 1 billion people at risk ofexposure to increasing frequency and intensity of natural hazards
Women more susceptible to naturaldisasters then men.
