“喜马拉雅水域的地缘政治与生态学”国际学术研讨会将于10月29日召开

2020年10月29日-30日，纽约大学阿布扎比分校人文学院与慕尼黑大学蕾切尔·卡森环境与社会研究中心合作召开“喜马拉雅水域的地缘政治与生态学”国际学术研讨会，会议将通过Zoom在线上举行‍。

2020年夏天，当新冠疫情成为全世界关注的焦点时，喜马拉雅地区局势却突然升温。印度和中国之间的冲突以及印度和尼泊尔之间的争论不仅仅是领土争端，还反映了人们对水资源的日益焦虑。冰川正在以创纪录的速度融化，面临破裂危险的新湖泊正在迅速形成，季风模式继续改变，并使依赖其可预测性的农民感到不安。地下水正在迅速枯竭，含水层正在干涸。数十亿人的粮食供应因此受到威胁。创纪录的洪水和持续的干旱导致数百万人流离失所，加速了移民流动。

这些发展情况促使纽约大学阿布扎比分校人文学院与慕尼黑大学蕾切尔·卡森环境与社会研究中心合作，启动了喜马拉雅水域的地缘政治和生态学项目。其希望汇集学者、专家和决策者的专业知识，以引出一种综合和整体的方法来研究和提出解决这一迫在眉睫的危机的方案。

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 Carson Center of LMU Munich. It aspires to bring together the expertise of scholars, practitioners, and policymakers in order to elicit a synthetic and holistic approach in studying and proposing solutions to this looming crisis.
