The Hindu Kush Himalaya Assessment: Mountains, Climate Change, Sustainability and People is a first-of-its-kind comprehensive assessment report of the HKH region. It took more than five years in its making and involved over 350 scientists and researchers from 22 countries and 185 organizations within the region and beyond. The report was launched by ICIMOD representatives and the chapter authors. This post-launch regional editors’ meet brought together editors, senior journalists, and other members of the media working within the region to collectively deliberate on the role of journalism and the media in communicating key messages highlighted in the HKH Assessment. The meeting also served as a platform for the media to directly interact with the scientists, lead authors, and others who were involved in the preparation of the assessment report and the research that supported it.
