Source of life and growing risk in South Asia

by SANDIP PAUDEL | 02-08-2019 03:00 recommendations 0
                   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.

    Hello sandip
    When non climatic factors were already drivers for potential risks today climatic factors because of human deeds itself has increased risk greatly.
