CLEAN : Experts worried about climate change impact on high mountain areas

The video discusses the repurposing of dams and the challenges faced by engineers in different regions. It highlights the climate crisis in high mountain areas, where temperature increases are more pronounced, leading to significant environmental changes. These changes include declining snowpacks, shorter snow-covered periods, and increased flooding, affecting both high-altitude and downstream populations.

What are some specific examples of how dams can be repurposed?

How are temperature increases in high mountains different from global averages?

What are the consequences of declining snowpacks and melting glaciers?

In what ways do changing rainfall patterns affect both high mountain and downstream populations?

What is the estimated population affected by changes in the high mountain regions?
