Dear Mountain Legacy Colleagues,
We are pleased to share the synthesis report of the E-conference on
"Climate Change and the Himalayan Glaciers", held from 7 May 2007 to 30
May 2007
to celebrate the World Environment Day (WED 2007) in Nepal and the
Himalayas. The event was organised by ClimateHimalaya,
a voluntary (and loose) electronic network of climate change
professionals working across the region. ClimateHimalaya is a pilot
project of the Environmentalists' Association
of Nepal and aims to develop a mechanism in which all
regional and international experts working in this region can interplay
to produce better
information to tackle various issues related to climate change and its
subsequent effect on different landscapes and at different ecological
levels. Present e-conference is the first attempt toward attaining this
goal.
Attached synthesis report (contributor-wise) of the E-conference on
"Climate Change and the Himalayan Glaciers" was released on 5 June 2007
by the Environmentalists' Association of Nepal, jointly with
the Ministry of Environment, Science and Technology, Government of
Nepal on the occasion of World Environment Day 2007 at the
national event organised by the ministry at Birendra International
Convention Centre, Kathmandu, Nepal.
Thematic synthesis report and complete proceedings are under preparation and will be released in or before December 2007.
During the e-conference, we received about 161 entries from around 150
participants representing 26 countries of Africa, Asia, Europe and
North America. Out of this about 60% were from Himalayan countries and
rest from other parts of the world.
We like to take this opportunity to thank you all who have contributed
to make this e-conference a big success.
