#Glaciers hold approximately 0.2% of the world's fresh water. Due to #ClimateChange, their melting will first increase river flows but later cause a sharp decline, threatening water availability in major rivers. #ActOnClimate @WIHG_DST @narendrassethi tinyurl.com/bdz7v26a

HIMASHIELD 2024 is a grand challenge dedicated to tackling growing threat of Glacier Lake Outburst Floods (GLOFs) caused by glacier melting in changing climate. It's an opportunity for visionary thinkers to push boundaries of climate resilience & contribute towards sust. future.

Congratulations Dr. Nilendu Singh and Mr. Saurabh Anand who represented WIHG at HIMASHIELD 2024 jointly organised by @cdacindia & @GoI_MeitY for securing 2nd Position. Best wishes for future endeavours. @IndiaDST
