It’s good news and good news!
First of all, I am delighted to report that the Extraordinary Meeting of our Board of Governors wholeheartedly approved our new 2030 Strategy. This is a great vote of confidence in ICIMOD and our new vision, mission and refreshed core values, and the ambitious pathways we have committed ourselves to going forward.
Secondly, our new Strategy 2030, will ensure that we are at the forefront of supporting our Regional Member Countries to grasp new opportunities emerging in tackling the growing climate, biodiversity, energy and water crisis in the HKH. The DG and I see this as a challenging but very exciting time for ICIMOD and its partners. Never have the challenges been greater, but equally never has our commitment been greater.
We are now at the stage when we are translating our strategy into a practical Medium-Term Action Plan (MTAPV) that will govern our activities through 2023-2026. We will focus this MTAP design to deliver result against four long-term impact areas listed below.
We are starting to populate our website with details of our new vision and mission and will continue to upload updates there. Please if you have any questions whatsoever regarding it, do drop a line to us through our info@icimod.org address.
OUR MISSION TO 2030
To build and share knowledge that drives regional policy and action and attracts investment that enables the diverse countries and communities of the HKH to transition to greener, more inclusive, and climate resilient development.
OUR FOUR LONG-TERM IMPACTS AREAS TO 2030

#塑战速决 (#BeatPlasticPollution) –今年世界环境日的三项行动 似乎没有任何地方可以免受塑料污染浪潮的影响:即使是地球之巅。上周在当地社区、登山者和政要前往纪念珠峰人类首登 70 周年时,ICIMOD 发起了我们新的 #拯救我们的雪(#SaveOurSnow)活动——一段视频显示被留在珠峰(南坡)大本营的堆积如山的塑料制品和其他垃圾的消息迅速传播开来。 但我们这代人可以扭转塑料潮流吗?随着谈判代表离开巴黎,同意起草一份具有国际法律约束力的条约草案以终结塑料污染,而在设立世界环境日的50周年呼吁采取集体行动来抵制它,有充分的理由充满希望。 同样重要的是,我们有充分的理由采取行动:塑料工业不仅是世界上增长最快的工业温室气体来源,而且塑料废物极大地加剧了兴都库什-喜马拉雅地区现有的气候变化、生物多样性丧失和污染等问题,ICIMOD 的 南亚网络开发和环境经济学(South Asian Network for Development and Environmental Economics ,简称SANDEE)。原因如下: 气候:固体废物——其中大部分是塑料——堵塞了排水系统,并增加了破坏性洪水,即由全球变暖引发的更频繁且更强烈的降雨事件引发的洪水。 生物多样性:塑料垃圾可能需要数百年才能分解,它们堵塞水道,其中的有害化学物质渗入土壤和水中,影响陆地和水生生物、生态系统和人类健康。 ...
