Adequately addressing transboundary climate risks requires research and data collection, the sharing of information and insights, and dialogues between sectors and across scales. The roadma outlines a strategy for enhancing regional cooperation to build resilience against climate risks in the Hindu Kush Himalaya (HKH) region.
Key points include:
- Transboundary Climate Risks: These are climate impacts that cross national borders, affecting multiple countries. The HKH region, spanning eight countries, faces significant risks due to its interconnected ecosystems and economies..
- Regional Cooperation: The roadmap emphasizes the need for collaborative efforts among HKH countries to manage these risks effectively. This includes sharing resources, knowledge, and strategies to mitigate and adapt to climate impacts
- Building Resilience: Strengthening resilience involves addressing both direct and indirect climate risks, ensuring sustainable development, and protecting the livelihoods of millions of people dependent on the HKH's natural resources
