Tibet’s rapid environmental decline threatens Asia’s water security and global climate stability, driven by extreme warming, infrastructure projects, and forced relocations.
A new report by the Stockholm Center for South Asian and Indo-Pacific Affairs warns that Tibet’s rapid environmental decline—driven by extreme warming, glacier loss, and land degradation—threatens Asia’s water security and global climate stability.
The Tibetan Plateau, warming more than twice the global average, is seeing widespread ecological damage from large-scale infrastructure, hydropower projects like the proposed Medog dam, and mineral extraction, with limited transparency and local input.
Nearly a million Tibetans have been relocated since 2000, often without fair compensation, undermining traditional stewardship.
The report calls for international action, including independent monitoring and transboundary water governance, urging the global community to treat Tibet as a climate frontline akin to the Arctic.
El rápido deterioro ambiental del Tíbet amenaza la seguridad hídrica de Asia y la estabilidad climática global, impulsada por el calentamiento extremo, los proyectos de infraestructura y las reubicaciones forzadas.
