Dear Colleagues,
My name is Rastraraj Bhandari and I am the founding member of the Geopolitics
& Ecology of Himalayan Water Initiative.
<https://www.himalayanwaterproject.org/>
Our initiative is based at New York University Abu Dhabi and we are working
in collaboration with academics and practitioners from around the world on
this very important topic. We heard about the YETI time from Pavan Jaini
from India who is currently working with us on our initiative.
We were accordingly wondering if you could kindly circulate our webinar
conference <https://www.himalayanwaterproject.org/conference> to the YETI
mailing list.
Thursday-Friday, October 29 & 30
In the summer of 2020, while stories of COVID dominated the world’s
attention, the Himalayan region flared up. Clashes between India and China
and a spat between India and Nepal were more than just disputes over
territory. They reflected growing anxiety over water. Glaciers have been
melting at record speed, new lakes in danger of bursting have been forming
rapidly, and monsoon patterns continue to change and unsettle farmers
dependent on their predictability. Groundwater has been quickly depleting
and aquifers are drying up. The food supply for billions of people is thus
threatened. Record floods followed by prolonged droughts are causing
millions to be displaced and contribute to accelerating migration flows.
These developments prompted the launch of The Geopolitics and Ecology of
Himalayan Water

under the eARThumanities at NYU Abu Dhabi in collaboration with the Rachel

and holistic approach in studying and proposing solutions to this looming
crisis.
