Dear 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.

The report can also be accessed online and downloaded from the event site at <http://www.freewebs.com/climatehimalaya/synthesis.htm>

Your support to circulate this information to a wider reach would be highly appreciated.

...
Sincerely,

Mr. Tek Jung Mahat, Dr. Madan Koirala, Mr. Laxman Belbase and Mr. parveen Chhetri
