Adapting to Climate Change in the Himalayas
with Rob Vanwey. J.D.
(07:00 - 08:30 am Tuesdays or 03:00 - 04:30 pm Wednesdays Pacific Time)
The Himalayas are a central point for climate change study and mitigation. These majestic mountains supply water to more than a billion people in the lower lying lands from the third largest source of freshwater on the globe. Unfortunately, these glaciers are melting faster than any other ice mass on earth. With this accelerated melting amidst swiftly rising temperatures, other calamities are befalling the people living in the region in larger numbers.
So, what are people doing about it?
Rob has spent the last several years working on the issue through his own non-profit, the EALS Global Foundation. EALS works with climate organizations across the Hindu Kush Himalaya region, bringing technological solutions to traditional—if severely amplified—problems. This course will introduce you to people working in the field, the kinds of projects they do, and how you can become involved.
