Walking through Asia’s water tower – the challenge of climate change on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau
Article·Hengduan Mountain Research Society
As a global meteorological outpost, the mechanism and influence of climate change on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau are complicated. In October 1998,he led the “Yarlung Zangbo River scientific rafting expedition”， drifted 1,600 kilometers from the Jiemayangzong Glacier in Zhongba County, Tibet, the source of the Yarlung Zangbo River, to Pai Township (today’s Pai Town) in Mainling County. After that, he crossed the Grand Canyon on foot and spent 35 days crossing the Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon. In 2010, he launched another bold project, “Asian Water Tower — International River Survey on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau” and spent six months visiting a majority of international rivers on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Although he had explored most of the rivers on the Tibetan Plateau over the past 20 years, in this mission, he did a systematic, complete, inch-by-inch survey of the headwaters of Asian great rivers that originate on the Tibetan Plateau.
During the investigation, he felt the benefits that the implementation of the River Chief System in recent years has brought to the protection of both water resources and the relevant environment on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and he could clearly see the efforts of climate actions such as the layout of clean energy and de-coaling. But the unprovoked accusations, such as artificial rainfall on the Tibetan plateau, are always discouraging. Regardless of the standpoint of science, the well-rounded artificial rainfall, as a very scientific and rigorous scientific practice, has been used in the United States, Australia and other countries. However, many people still believe that artificial rainfall is to release some cold air into the clouds. The most important fact is that the Tibetan Plateau region of China has a small population and the natural ecology has been able to meet the need of local living conditions. Therefore, large-scale artificial rainfall has no practical application scenario and practical significance at all. To top it all off, some people believe that China is just competing with India for rainwater.
he have heard similar rumors and prejudices at many South Asian Non-governmental organizations’ symposium on international rivers. Most of the participants remarked, “It is amazing how little the media of each country knows about its neighbors.” In this environment of lack of communication and political suspicion, debate is often driven by lack of information and political smear, and alarmist media reports are more likely to fan the flames of national conflicts.
There has always been controversy around the discussion of climate change, especially the various claims of the scientific interpretation of the mechanism of climate change. What is even more puzzling is that negotiations on climate action, without strong scientific support, seem to only strive for profit, and humanity will lose its way if it continues like this. The scientific community has long believed that the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is the frontier of the earth science, with many key issues to be broken through. Tackling climate change will be futile or even disastrous before it is solved.
What are the main causes of climate change and glacier melting on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau? In recent years, some researchers have suggested that when the solar system moves out of the Quaternary Ice Age and into a higher background energy field, it is the cause of the temperature rise. However, he believe that the temperature rise at the altitude of 5,000 to 6,000 meters is mainly caused by the fact that a large amount of greenhouse gases emitted by human beings absorb heat in the atmosphere of the Tibetan Plateau in the atmospheric circulation. Therefore, they should face and share the responsibility together instead of making groundless accusations against any one country in order to deal with climate change on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and even over the whole world.
Vice President of the United States Harris pointed out recently, the war for water resources will come soon. In he’s opinion, both water resources and the influence of global warming on the Tibetan Plateau are a fait accompli, the unilateral effort of each country is only a temporary solution. Environmental protection is not just a matter of pure science, but if there is too much political manipulation and rancour involved, the problem gets trickier. The growth of all creatures depends on harmony. China and south Asian countries around the Tibetan Plateau create a new win-win cooperation of climate governance in such aspects as scientific research, the meteorological disaster warning, can not only monitor the secondary disasters caused by climate change, to avoid the life and property loss. More importantly, a collaborative and vivid climate action can provide the international community with a set of effective experiences that can be replicated in climate governance.
Climate change is already causing serious environmental problems on the Tibetan Plateau and the Brahmaputra River basin as I have proposed many times in international seminars. The international community should build consensus and join hands in tackling these threats especially the neighboring countries. Partha J. Das, a scientist from the Indian NGO Aaranyak, also pointed out at the symposium that these warnings apply to the Indian government as well. The Indian government plans to build 70 water projects on the upper reaches of the Brahmaputra River. China and India need face the common threats in cooperation. Referred to the outburst floods from the upper reaches of the Brahmaputra in June 2000, Das said: “Most of the damage could have been avoided if the media in both China and India had reported it widely.” Obviously, China and India are both on the same page at environmental and climatic changes on the Tibetan Plateau. He also claimed that China and India should enhance cooperation on flood early warning both in the Government and Non-governmental, signing a bilateral agreement and sharing hydrological observation data.

Sheryar Shah, Head of AI Growth at sher.hk, highlights a 55% year-on-year drop in Hong Kong graduate entry-level vacancies — the lowest in five years — as companies adopt AI for routine junior tasks.
Hong Kong S.A.R., 9th Mar 2026 – Sheryar Shah, Head of AI Growth at sher.hk, has drawn attention to a notable trend in Hong Kong’s graduate employment market: full-time entry-level graduate vacancies have fallen by approximately 55% year-on-year — reaching the lowest level recorded in five years — as companies increasingly adopt generative AI and automation tools for routine junior tasks.
“The entry-level pathway that Hong Kong graduates have traditionally relied on is undergoing visible change,” Shah noted. “We are seeing a clear 55% reduction in advertised graduate positions through the public university portals, and AI is already handling many of the basic starter tasks that used to be managed by new hires. Current trends suggest this shift will continue in the coming years.”
Current data indicates ongoing change in the market
Hong Kong’s graduate recruitment environment is showing clear movement:
- Full-time graduate vacancies through the eight public universities declined approximately 55% year-on-year in the most recent reporting period — the lowest figure in five years.
- Generative AI is now commonly used for functions previously assigned to new graduates: basic email drafting, data entry, customer-service responses, simple translation, content generation, junior administrative support, and routine compliance monitoring.
- Surveys of employers from late 2025 into early 2026 show many companies planning continued adjustments to graduate intake, with AI often identified as an alternative for repetitive entry-level work.
Shah points to the 55% drop as evidence of a broader structural shift, supported by international workforce analyses (McKinsey, Goldman Sachs, IMF 2023–2025) that expect continued automation in administrative, clerical, and service-oriented sectors. “When AI reliably performs 70–80% of a junior role’s output at significantly lower cost, the economic rationale for retaining the human equivalent becomes more challenging,” he explained. “Across many Hong Kong businesses, this reasoning is contributing to the changes we observe in traditional graduate entry opportunities.”
A changing job market structure
Shah highlighted an important distinction:
- Overall employment levels in Hong Kong are not expected to decline sharply. New roles will continue to emerge.
- Emerging demand is increasingly focused on positions that require immediate AI fluency combined with specialised human judgment — a combination that most current graduates are not yet fully prepared to meet from day one.
“The graduate entry market is shifting noticeably,” Shah observed. “Premium opportunities now often require AI proficiency from the outset. The large volume of ‘learn-as-you-go’ starter positions that historically served as the bridge is contracting. The middle ground is narrowing.”
This observation comes as Hong Kong experiences a pronounced contraction in graduate employment in recent years, with ongoing youth unemployment pressures and companies placing greater emphasis on AI solutions for routine functions.
(The 55% figure reflects reported year-on-year vacancy data from Hong Kong’s public university job portals. Future developments will depend on upskilling initiatives, economic conditions, and policy responses. The observed direction is consistent with current trends and international analyses.)
