Climate Change – Climate change has driven 16% drop in ‘snow meltwater’ from Asia’s high mountains (Ayesha Tandon, Carbon Brief, WEF)

  • Climate change is reducing the supply of water from melting snow to many of the largest rivers in Asia.
  • This is negatively affecting the water security of millions of people, a new study finds.
  • By comparing the 1979-99 average snowmelt with the 1999-2019 average, the authors find a 16% decline in annual snow meltwater across the region.
