The severity of droughts, floods, reduced crop yields & the loss of biodiversity & natural capital in the #Himalayas escalates with each degree of global warming, underscoring the need for immediate #ClimateAction #SaveTheHimalayas
Climate Change negatively impacts pregnant women, necessitating stronger healthcare infrastructure to safeguard them from heat-related illnesses. Further, establishing gender-sensitive emergency shelters & hotlines in affected areas is crucial.
A recent Science Magazine study suggests that the warming avoided by planting CO2-absorbing forests could be around 15 to 30% less than previously estimated due to feedbacks such as dark trees reflecting less sunlight.
