AKU, AKAH, UCA launch climate change documentary series for South, Central Asia
The Roof of the World is a great arc of glaciated mountains in South and Central Asia, which hold the world’s third largest reserve of ice and fresh water after the polar regions. With temperatures rising three times faster than the global average, these glaciers are melting quickly, increasing the risk of floods, landslides and natural disasters for the communities living amongst them and threatening the source of ten of Asia’s mightiest rivers.
