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.

Brodrick Spencer Outlines Seven Commitments for Building Educational Systems That Endure
-
New York education and nonprofit leader Brodrick Spencer shares a practical framework for creating programs and institutions that serve communities long after their founders step away.
A Record Built on What Stays
New York, USA, 24th March 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — After nearly three decades working in classrooms, school buildings, and nonprofit operations, Brodrick Spencer has arrived at a clear standard for measuring professional impact. The programs and institutions a leader builds should continue functioning long after that leader has moved on. That idea, simple to state and difficult to execute, has guided his entire career.
Spencer currently serves as Southern California Director of Operations for the William Law Foundation, overseeing afterschool programs and childcare centers across Southern California. Before that, he spent thirteen years as a secondary principal in New York State and eight years as an assistant principal, leading schools in some of the state’s most challenging environments.
Seven Personal Commitments for Building Systems That Last
Spencer has distilled his approach to organizational sustainability into a set of personal commitments he applies consistently across every role:
-
Listen and observe before acting. Any system worth changing must first be understood.
-
Involve stakeholders in decision-making from the start. People support what they help to build.
-
Hold yourself accountable first. Accountability without self-application is not leadership.
-
Sequence change deliberately. Trying to fix everything at once overwhelms organizations and slows real progress.
-
Invest in developing people around you. Systems run on human capital. That capital must be built.
-
Use data honestly. Before-and-after metrics matter more than effort metrics.
-
Measure success by what continues without you. If the work stops when you leave, the work was never finished.
Why Systems Matter More Than Individuals
Spencer points to the instability many educational institutions face when leadership transitions occur. Programs collapse. Partnerships dissolve. Progress stalls. His view is that this is a structural problem, not simply a personnel one. Organizations that are built around individuals rather than systems are inherently fragile.
His response to that fragility has been practical. Develop assistant principals who can lead. Build partnerships with colleges and community organizations that survive staff changes. Create academic programs with enough institutional backing to continue through transitions.
Start with one commitment from the list above. Apply it consistently for 30 days. Then add another. The goal is not to change your entire organization immediately. The goal is to build practices that hold.
About Brodrick Spencer
Brodrick Spencer is the Southern California Director of Operations for the William Law Foundation, a nonprofit organization operating afterschool programs and childcare centers. He is a career educator with nearly three decades of experience in K-12 school leadership and nonprofit operations, based in New York. He holds a Master of Education from Howard University and a Bachelor of Arts from the University of California, Santa Barbara. More information is available at brodrickspencer.com.
