Additionally, it involves the UNESCO- and WMO WWRP-endorsed Seamless Prediction and Services for Promoting Environmental and Societal Sustainability (SEPRESS) programme led by the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, along with the ICIMOD.
It also includes the WWRP Progressing Early Warnings for All (EW4All) Oriented to Partnerships and Local Engagement (PEOPLE) project and the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) Regional Information for Society (RIfS) core project.
This Collection is a joint effort by npj Natural Hazards Nature Portfolio and the Societal and Economic Research Applications (SERA) Working Group of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) World Weather Research Programme (WWRP).
The focus is on the social dimensions of compounding and cascading weather- and climate-related hazards in an interconnected multi-hazard world, exploring actionable science that links interacting extremes and risk management to societal outcomes, particularly for vulnerable regions and communities.
It aims to advance people-centred, inclusive early warning systems, preparedness, and risk-informed decision-making.
A new Call for Papers for the Nature Partner Journal Natural Hazards special collection, “Weather and Climate-Induced Multi-Hazard Futures: Forecast, Communication, and Preparedness for Society,” invites interdisciplinary research.
Call for papers
Climate and weather hazards rarely occur in isolation. Their compounding and cascading impacts are reshaping risk landscapes and exposing gaps in how societies forecast, communicate, and prepare.

#SCAHimalayas #Springs #SG2 #naturebasedsolutions
Gain the knowledge and skills to address water security, foster ecosystem restoration, integrate gender and social inclusion, and build climate resilience – all at your own pace. Empower yourself to make a lasting impact on communities and environment with this comprehensive course.
Explore the transformative potential of springshed management through our first open-access learning course. Delve into engaging modules that cover the science of springs, the six-step protocol for spring revival, and practical strategies for sustainable water resource management.
The programme is jointly implemented by the International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD) and Kathmandu University, with support from the Government of Norway.
#Glaciology #ClimateChange #WaterSecurity #SG1 #Cryosphere #ResearchCollaboration
The two-year Master of Science programme was reintroduced at KU in August 2024 to strengthen cryosphere research capacity in the region.
They are also leveraging artificial intelligence in climate research.
The HKH’s water resources are under severe stress from climate change impacts. Building regional expertise in the cryosphere is a critical intervention to address existing data gaps.
Students in their final year of Master of Science, specialising in Glaciology at Kathmandu University (KU), are exploring how cryosphere science can help tackle the Hindu Kush Himalaya (HKH) region’s biggest climate challenges, including disaster risk reduction and efficient water management.
What inspires the next generation of cryosphere scientists?
This initiative is supported by the Building Adaptation and Resilience in the HKH (BAR HKH) project supported by Asian Development Bank (ADB).

Your contribution will improve regional understanding on how risks are worsening, and what type of investments can make a difference in improving resilience to these growing risks.
Selected submissions will be featured in a compendium of solutions to be published this year by ICIMOD.
These should demonstrate how Multi-Hazard Risk Assessment (MHRA), Early Warning Systems (EWS), and/or Nature-based Solutions (NbS) have been designed, implemented, and used to reduce disaster risks and strengthen disaster preparedness across the HKH region.
The International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD) invites submissions of evidence-based examples, best practices, and innovative solutions.

#IYRP2026 #Pastoralist #YearOfRangelandsAndPastoralists #RangelandsAndPastoralists #Rangelandsandwetlands #SG2
Selected stories will be profiled at various events during the International Year of Rangeland and Pastoralist (IYRP) 2026.
Submission deadline: 30 April 2026
To access the online submission form, click the link: forms.icimod.org/regenerating...
This submission is open to participants from Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, China, India, Myanmar, Nepal, and Pakistan. We are looking for real life stories told in your own way.
Climate change, land use change, and socio-economic factors are placing increasing pressure on pastoral livelihoods and traditional herding.
Your stories will help highlight pastoral cultures in the HKH region that capture the lived realities, cultures, and traditions of pastoral peoples.
Pastoralists sustain their livelihood through mobile herding systems that support food security, local economies, and cultural traditions, while also conserving and managing the rangeland ecosystems that they depend on.
For centuries pastoralism has been central to life in the Hindu Kush Himalaya (HKH).
The International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD) and Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) Nepal invite you to share stories that highlight pastoral cultures in the Hindu Kush Himalaya (HKH) region.
Tales of lived realities, cultures, and traditions of pastoralists.
A call for stories from the Hindu Kush Himalaya (HKH) on Pastoralism.
Apply by 20 April 2026 (18:00 Nepal Standard Time (NST), UTC +05:45) to mailto:consultancy.int@icimod.org
