To Slow Himalayan Glacier Melt, Curbing Air Pollution is Key

Melting Glaciers, Loss of Snow Pose Risks to South Asia Water Resources
WASHINGTON, June 3, 2021 – Black carbon deposits originating from factories, cooking and vehicles are compounding the effects of climate change to speed up the melting of the Himalayan glaciers. More aggressively curbing black carbon emissions can slow glacier melt and improve the security of water resources in the region, according to a new World Bank report.
Current policies in place to reduce black carbon emissions – through enhancing fuel-efficiency standards, phasing out diesel vehicles and promoting electric cars – while laudable, will still reduce black carbon deposits by only 23 percent, not enough to prevent an acceleration of water releases from glacier melt in the region, according to Glaciers of the Himalayas: Climate Change, Black Carbon and Regional Resilience. However, new economically and technically feasible policies are within reach to contain glacier melt at current levels. ....

Enacting new policies can achieve benefits over the projected 23% reduction in Black Carbon as a result of ongoing efforts.
Black carbon (BC) deposits produced by human activity which accelerate the pace of glacier and snow melt in the Himalayan region can be sharply reduced through new, currently feasible policies by an additional 50% from current levels, new research by World Bank (WB) specialists has said. ....

Narain said in addition to the pandemic, India is facing an imminent crisis in climate change due to its dependence on monsoons, which have become increasingly inconsistent.
A panel of Indian economists and activists discussed India’s COVID-19 outbreak and environmental crises during a virtual event Wednesday.
The panelists addressed health concerns India faces from climate change and the spread of the coronavirus, prompting solutions like governmental reform and improvements for sanitation infrastructure. The Institute for International Economic Policy and the Sigur Center for Asian Studies hosted the event – which was moderated by Jay Shambaugh, the co-director of the institute. ....

This blog is a biweekly feature highlighting recent working papers from around the World Bank Group that were published in the World Bank’s Policy Research Working Paper Series. This entry introduces seven papers published during the weeks of February 1 and 8 on various topics, including the COVID-19 pandemic crisis, the use of a new data source (such as nighttime data), and the measurement of poverty. Here are the highlights of select findings.
Satellite imagery data have become widely adopted in economic research.
In this week’s entry, we introduce two papers exploring the potential of nighttime light data as alternative proxies for measuring economic activity. A paper by ....
