尼泊尔加德满都讯——国际山地综合发展中心 (ICIMOD) 和可持续地球全球联盟 (GASP) 联手促进兴都库什-喜马拉雅(HKH) 的社会与环境变革。

双方签署了一份谅解备忘录 (MoU)以开展合作,联手促进农村及山区生活质量得到改善,同时为子孙后代保护该地区的生态系统。

兴都库什-喜马拉雅(HKH) 地区从阿富汗延伸到缅甸,横跨巴基斯坦、印度、中国、尼泊尔、不丹和孟加拉,拥有 10 个主要河流流域、四分之一人口和全球第三大冰冻水域。然而,科学家们越来越担心气候危机对该地区的影响,对整个地区居民的生命与生计构成威胁。

在合作伙伴关系下,国际山地综合发展中心 (ICIMOD) 和可持续地球全球联盟 (GASP)将促进与当地居民和弱势社区的磋商和参与纳入相关研究。

国际山地综合发展中心 (ICIMOD)将分享其与八个区域成员国的当地社区合作 的40 年经验,还会将其见解整合到更广泛的区域和政策论坛中。这种伙伴关系将使它们能够支持当地社区的声音和解决方案,并增加投资流量。

国际山地综合发展中心总干事白马·嘉措博士说:“与可持续地球全球联盟 (GASP)的这种伙伴关系能够加强我们在这一领域的工作——支持当地社区的声音与解决方案,并增加投资流量。通过我们在林业社区的工作,我们多次看到将当地见解融入政策制定的益处。

可持续地球全球联盟 (GASP)秘书长萨蒂亚·特里帕蒂 (Satya S. Tripathi) 表示,“迫切需要基层伙伴关系和授权联盟来孵化具有系统规模潜力的催化铲准备项目,以吸收不断变化的金融格局带来的好处。现在是采取行动的时候了,我们希望看到在公众中的变革性影响。”

该谅解备忘录签署于全球挑战(包括气候适应挑战)不断增加之际。 双方合作旨在为兴都库什-喜马拉雅地区带来变革性的环境与社会影响。它将侧重于建立一个有弹性的生态系统,提高生产性生计,并促进人类与地球的福祉。
