自人类首登世界之巅70 年以来，珠穆朗玛——藏语意为“女神、世界之母”，或者，萨加玛塔——尼泊尔语，意为 “天空之顶”，正在经历前所未有且基本不可逆的变化。
在兴都库什-喜马拉雅地区，高海拔山脉的变暖速度是全球的两倍。科学家们提醒，预计在未来五年内将升温 1.5度，这将危及这个至关重要的生物群落区。
20 亿人，包括数百万面临长期饥饿的人，都依赖这些山区的冰川融雪作为饮用水及灌溉庄稼的来源。该地区坐拥多种景观地形，被无数物种种群视为栖息地。
如何正确处理紧急问题在于我们。每个学分对学位而言都很重要。时间紧迫，此时此刻正是需要我们采取行动的时候。请帮助我们宣传：
“没有时间了。”
山区居民、登山者和科学家在珠峰敲响警钟，倡议世界各国领袖们立即迈向脱碳之路。
人类活动已将地球系统推向临界点，维系生命将极具挑战。
地球最高峰珠峰——藏语称之为珠穆朗玛，意为女神、世界之母，正处于前所未有的、在很大程度上是不可逆的变化中。
由于化石燃料燃烧、农业和森林砍伐产生的排放物正在使地球变暖，导致横跨兴都库什-喜马拉雅地区的 54,000 座冰川中的三分之二，总面积达 6,000 立方公里的冰川正面临消融的风险。
科学家们提醒，未来五年的气温升高将跨过 1.5°C 的门槛——即使只是暂时的——全球变暖有可能使兴都库什-喜马拉雅地区遭遇浩劫：危及山区 2.4 亿人和下游 20 亿人的生命和生计。
在短短六十年里，珠峰附近冰川的冰层变薄了 100 多米。自 2009 年以来，其速度几乎翻了一番。位于珠峰地区的伊姆贾湖（Imja Lake）是尼泊尔最危险的冰川湖之一。 昆布冰川是大多数探险的标志性起点，而它正岌岌可危，濒临融化。
危险的气候变化已降临该地区，导致灾难性的洪水、干旱、热浪及其他自然灾害。没有人是安全的，在这个人口营养不良占半数以上人口的地区，最脆弱人群将受到最严重的打击。随着地球变暖，这些趋势将持续恶化。没时间了。借用一句登山运动的话来讲，现在要抓住眼前有限的窗口期采取行动。
在人类首登珠峰 70 年之际，我们——代表山区、登山者和科学家——站在世界之巅，呼吁各国政府，商界领袖，以及世界各地的每个男人、女人和孩子齐心协力保护地球上的山、雪与冰。
对于占世界总人口的四分之一的那些生活或依赖于兴都库什-喜马拉雅地区的居民来说，即使升温 1.5 度也太热了，每摄氏度的微小变化都很重要。我们敦促所有国家的领导人：应兑现快速和深度减排的承诺，停止开发煤炭、天然气和石油勘探，并加速向可再生能源过渡。
我们呼吁：保护自然生态系统；扩大工作范围以制止毁林，同时增加造林及再造林；对气候复原力和适应方面加大投资和资金，包括所有山区的预警系统；在决策过程中，更好地认可及融入地方社区和土著人民；加强国际合作，为损失和破坏提供资助。
签署此宣言，我们承诺致力于避免最严重的气候变化影响，为今世后代保护我们的星球。只有立即采取行动，我们才有时间建设一个可持续和更有弹性的世界，现在做出的选择将决定我们所有人的未来。

🚨ATTENTION: The Hindu Kush Himalaya region is undergoing unprecedented and largely irreversible change, driven by global warming.
If we do not take urgent action to #SaveOurSnow, two-thirds of glaciers in the region will disappear before the end of this century. There is no time left.
In the 70 years since Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay first scaled Everest, rising global temperatures have put the mountain in danger.
In the next 70 years, two-thirds of glaciers on the region’s mountains will disappear if we do not take urgent action to #SaveOurSnow
The climate emergency is here and now for Mount Everest and for the people and nature across the Hindu Kush Himalaya.
The adverse impacts of climate change are already upending lives and devastating livelihoods across the region, as seen in the floods in Pakistan last year.
We need urgent global action to #SaveOurSnow and ice before it’s too late.
⚠️WARNING:Breaching the 1.5 degrees threshold enshrined in the Paris Agreement will unleash catastrophe across the Hindu Kush Himalayas: jeopardising the lives and livelihoods of 240 million people in the mountains and 2 billion more people downstream.
We need leaders to decarbonise now to #SaveOurSnow and ice.
🌏CALL TO ACTION
The Hindu Kush Himalaya is home to the world’s highest peaks and contains the largest volume of ice on earth after the polar regions. However, despite servicing a quarter of the world’s population, the impacts of climate change on the region are under-documented.
@ICIMOD, the leading institute dedicated to mountain communities and the environment, is calling on everyone who cares about the region to highlight the impacts of climate change by sharing your stories and photographs from the mountains over the years.
From the top of the world, let’s make sure we’re heard.
Spread the word through stories: Share your dedication with your followers on Instagram stories. Upload a photo or video showcasing your support for the cause, tag ICIMOD, and use the hashtag #SaveOurSnow. Together, we’ll amplify our message and inspire action!
Note: By participating in this campaign, you grant ICIMOD permission to share your posts, stories, and images related to the #SaveOurSnow campaign on their social media platforms and website.
