Climatic Changes in the Himalayan Hills

Monsoon is a complex phenomenon which is influenced by both local and regional factors including, inter alia, snow fall in the Himalayan region, sea surface temperature in the southern Indian Ocean, Solar insulation and Land heating. While thickness of snow in Himalayan region has relationship with the Indian Monsoon, the monsoon failures have not always been influencing the change in the Himalayan snow, as there are other factors that control the monsoon circulation.

Consultations amongst South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) and other region fora take place regularly to evolve coordinated plans to address, inter-alia, environmental problems in the region.
