气候变暖正在改变喜马拉雅山脉的环境,其变化速度比世界上任何地方都要快。世界最高山脉上的巨大冰山——印度河、恒河和怒江(萨尔温江)等亚洲大多数江河的源头——正在消融。面对这些剧烈的变化,印度、巴基斯坦、尼泊尔和不丹政府计划把喜马拉雅山脉的河流变为南亚的发电站。政府希望建设数百座大坝,利用喜马拉雅奔涌的河水来发电。四国提出在未来20年里增加15万兆瓦的水力发电量,喜马拉 Climate change is changing the environment in the Himalayas, changing faster than anywhere else in the world. The huge icebergs in the highest mountains of the world - the source of most rivers in Asia such as the Indus, the Ganges and the Nu River (Salween) - are melting.

Shikoku proposes to add 150,000 megawatts of hydroelectric power to the Himalayas over the next two decades
