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.

Palmetto, Florida, United States, 24th Oct 2026 – Paris Fashion Week has come to an end, leaving behind another busy season of runway shows, presentations and events that brought designers and fashion professionals from around the world to the French capital.
On September 30, Maison de l’Amérique Latine in Paris hosted a large international fashion program, bringing together designers from Latin America, Europe, Asia and the Middle East.
One of the main highlights of the day was the first collaboration between 12|11 PRO and Fashion Designers of Latin America (FDLA), founded by Albania Rosario. The two organizations joined forces to bring Latin American designers to Paris and create a major international runway presentation during Fashion Week.
For FDLA, which has spent years supporting designers and promoting Latin American fashion internationally, this marked an important new chapter: its first collective runway presentation in Paris.
The FDLA program featured five designers and brands: Michelle Espinoza, Jesús de la Garsa, Ivanildo Nunes, Valverde and Urban Palais.
The collaboration was part of a larger day of fashion presentations organized by 12|11 PRO at Maison de l’Amérique Latine.
The international lineup also included Diana Caramaci from Romania, Run The Way and RAIS from Russia, SADF from Saudi Arabia, Meruert Balmanova from Kazakhstan, and Nguyen Phuc Tuan from Vietnam, who presented his collection Numéro 6: Vũ khúc Cố đô.
Bringing together designers from different countries on one runway was one of the main ideas behind the project. It offered participants an opportunity to present their work in Paris, meet international fashion professionals and introduce their brands to new audiences.
Behind the Runway
While a fashion show may last only a few minutes, organizing an entire day of presentations requires months of preparation and a large team working behind the scenes.
More than 200 professionals were involved in the September 30 production, including models, casting and beauty teams, producers, showrunners, technical staff, backstage coordinators and volunteers.
Casting Director Mariia Anosova was responsible for model selection and casting coordination, working closely with the production team to organize the lineup across the different runway presentations.
The beauty direction was managed by Cristina Cuellar, together with the team from Instituto Cristina Cuellar, who handled makeup and hair for the participating designers.
Producers Valentina Varnavskaia and Ruslan Evseev coordinated the overall production, working with designers, backstage teams and technical departments to bring the entire program together.
An important role was also played by Ilyssa Wexler Zacchei and Fashion for Futures, whose volunteer team supported backstage operations, model coordination and communication between departments throughout the day.
For a production involving so many designers and participants, the work of these teams was essential to keeping the schedule and the shows running.
An International Collaboration
The partnership with Fashion Designers of Latin America was an important part of the project.
Founded by Albania Rosario, FDLA has developed an international platform supporting both emerging and established designers, particularly from Latin America.
Over the years, the organization has created opportunities for designers to present their collections, connect with industry professionals and reach international audiences, with New York serving as one of its main fashion destinations.
Its first collective presentation in Paris, produced in collaboration with 12|11 PRO, marked another step in expanding those opportunities.
Fashion and Contemporary Art in Dialogue: Curated by Anna Sashina
Bringing together fashion and contemporary art in the context of Paris Fashion Week, an exhibition curated by Anna Sashina will feature three creative voices: artist Mirco Piccioli, artist and writer Elen Sharafullina, and photographer Komiljon Pattaev. Through collage, video, literature, and documentary photography, the project will explore cultural memory, beauty, and the role of visual imagery in contemporary life.
Anna Sashina is an art curator whose exhibitions during Paris Fashion Week explore the relationship between contemporary art and high fashion. Her curatorial vision positions both disciplines as forms of self-expression, creativity, and cultural commentary. Bringing together artists with diverse backgrounds and perspectives, she creates a space for ideas to move across disciplines. This exhibition reflects her commitment to connecting individual artistic voices through a shared dialogue between fashion and art.
Mirco Piccioli is an artist working at the intersection of collage, video, and luxury fashion imagery. Drawing on image fragments, glamour, and cultural memory, he creates layered compositions that evoke attraction, unease, and curiosity. His practice examines what lies beneath the polished surface of fashion: desire, power, femininity, and the psychology of looking. Within the project, he approaches fashion as a space for artistic inquiry, revealing its fantasies and contradictions. @mirco.piccioli
Elen Sharafullina is a contemporary artist and writer based in France whose work brings together art, cultural traditions, and a contemporary vision of elegance. On 30 September 2026 in Paris, she will present her new book, Advent Calendar: Its Origins and History. The book traces this Christmas tradition from its historical roots and symbolism to its place in contemporary culture, art, and design. She is also the author of Etiquette on Board: A Guide for Yacht Owners and Guests, dedicated to yachting culture, international etiquette, and the art of gracious living.
Komiljon Pattaev is a photographer who explores everyday life and cultural heritage through people’s stories. His documentary work centres on labour, human dignity, connections between generations, and a sense of belonging. Photographing in Uzbekistan, he brings attention to people whose lives rarely enter the public spotlight, revealing the significance of their everyday experiences. Traditional costumes from Uzbekistan’s regions hold a special place in his project, their colours, fabrics, and ornaments expressing cultural diversity and living memory
Partners of the Project
The September 30 presentations were also supported by POLARE Paris and Young Voyage. POLARE Paris is a French luxury skincare brand combining French beauty expertise with modern anti-aging technologies. Its L’Âge-Miracle collection includes creams, serums and masks developed to support hydration, firmness and the overall appearance of the skin.
Young Voyage, an independent niche fragrance house founded by Nadine Ahmad, introduced its debut fragrance, Musk Thé, released in a limited edition of 1,000 bottles. The brand focuses on individuality and a contemporary approach to luxury perfumery.
Oliver Weber, the Austrian jewelry brand founded in 1994, supported the event with elegant gifts prepared for the guests, reflecting the brand’s signature craftsmanship and use of premium European crystals. Lidia Weber, Founder of Oliver Weber, also joined the зкщоусе and addressed the audience with a few words of welcome.
Selecting the Participants
Another important part of preparing an international fashion project is the selection of participants. 12|11 PRO works with independent professionals from the fashion, beauty and modeling industries who contribute their expertise during the selection process. The project’s expert committee included Inesa Tyshchenko, Kateryna Dudka, Yana Kucherenko, Olimjon Salmon and Valeriia Serebriakova.The committee participated in reviewing designers, models and beauty professionals, helping the production team select participants for the event.
Looking Ahead
The September 30 program brought together different countries, teams and fashion organizations under one roof. For the participating designers, it was an opportunity to present their work in Paris during one of the busiest periods of the international fashion calendar. For the organizers, it was an opportunity to develop new partnerships and bring together fashion professionals from different markets. With Paris Fashion Week now over, the teams are already looking ahead to the next season. For 12|11 PRO and FDLA, the September collaboration marked the beginning of a new professional relationship and opened the door to future international projects.

Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, 22nd October 2026, ZEX PR WIRE, Amy MacIntyre, a psychiatrist in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, explains how understanding individual circumstances shapes better care.
What does it mean to listen to the whole story?
“I try to consider the whole story and situation,” MacIntyre says. Listening to the whole story means taking time to understand the experiences and circumstances someone brings with them. It means asking questions that go beyond symptoms and recognizing that a person’s background, relationships, and daily life all play a role in their wellbeing.
Many people feel rushed or unheard in healthcare settings. When a provider listens to the full context, patients feel respected and understood. That foundation makes treatment more effective.
How do individual circumstances change the approach to care?
“People bring different experiences and circumstances with them, and I think it is important to remember that,” MacIntyre explains. Two people with similar symptoms may need very different approaches based on their family situation, work stress, cultural background, or support system.
Understanding these differences helps shape a treatment plan that fits the person’s real life. A prescription or recommendation that works well for one individual may not be practical or helpful for another.
What role does community play in mental health?
“The relationships with people and the community are something I value very highly,” MacIntyre says. Strong community connections provide support, reduce isolation, and create a sense of belonging. These relationships can be protective during difficult times.
A psychiatrist who is part of the community for the long term builds trust and sees how families and individuals grow and change. That continuity matters. People feel more comfortable seeking help when they know the provider understands the local context and cares about the people who live there.
What has remained consistent over 20 years of practice?
“I started this practice in 2006 to help people in the community thoughtfully and compassionately. That commitment has remained important to me throughout the years,” MacIntyre notes. The focus on compassionate, evidence-based care has stayed central even as treatments and understanding have evolved.
Consistency in values creates a stable foundation for the people seeking care. They know what to expect and can trust that the same principles guide every interaction.
How can you tell if a provider is really listening?
A provider who is listening will ask follow-up questions, reflect back what you have said, and show genuine interest in your concerns. They will not rush to a conclusion or interrupt. They will make space for you to share what matters most to you.
You should leave the appointment feeling heard, even if the path forward is still unclear. Feeling understood is a crucial first step in any treatment relationship.
If you do nothing else
Write down the full story before your next healthcare appointment, including what is happening in your life outside of symptoms.
- Choose a provider who asks about your daily circumstances, not just your diagnosis.
- Ask your provider how your individual situation might affect the recommended treatment.
- Build or strengthen at least one relationship in your local community this month.
- Notice whether you feel heard in your healthcare appointments, and speak up if you do not.
- Look for providers who have long-term roots in your community.
- Remember that your experiences and circumstances matter and deserve to be understood.
Share this Q&A with someone who is looking for a healthcare provider who values listening and understanding individual circumstances.
