Walking through Asia’s water tower – the challenge of climate change on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau

Published

on

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.

Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands, August 25th, 2026, FinanceWire

The integration will bring established, regulated market infrastructure to Sui that unlocks support for institutions and issuers, while also opening access for tZERO to the chain’s deep pool of builders and developers

tZERO Group, Inc., a leader in blockchain-based financial infrastructure, today announced a strategic partnership to integrate directly with the Sui blockchain, unlocking support for issuance, transfer agency, custody, trading, compliance and settlement for regulated digital assets security trading. The integration will expand Sui’s access to institutionally compliant U.S. market infrastructure aimed at building for tokenized markets, and will bring Sui’s deep pool of builders and developers into the tZERO ecosystem.

Through the integration, tZERO will gain access to a vast pool of developers, builders, and DeFi projects currently being built on Sui, leveraging the extensive knowledge these teams have in building for the network’s unique object-focused architecture. These builders have years of experience creating projects that take advantage of Sui’s highly performant network with near-instant finality, positioning them well to build on infrastructure designed to service institutional needs.

“Sui’s object-centric architecture offers a unique approach to regulated digital assets by making assets and their permissions programmable,” said Alan Konevsky, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of tZERO. “Combined with Sui’s performance, that design creates a strong foundation for the development of next generation regulated financial applications onchain.“

Lejan Brings Barefoot Footwear to Back-to-School Season with Its Children’s School Shoes

Published

on

The brand focuses on flexible, zero-drop school shoes with plenty of toe room, designed to withstand the daily pace of young children.

Madrid, Spain, 25th Aug 2026 – Back-to-school season means new routines, new schedules, and many hours spent wearing shoes. That is why Lejan is once again putting children’s feet at the center of its approach with its barefoot school shoes, designed to bring the principles of foot-friendly footwear to one of the pairs children wear most throughout the school year.

Unlike conventional school shoes, Lejan’s barefoot school shoes aim to minimize interference between the shoe and the natural movement of the foot. They feature an anatomical toe box that gives the toes room to move, a flexible sole, and zero drop, meaning there is no height difference between the heel and the forefoot.

But for shoes designed for school, there is another particularly important factor: durability for everyday wear. Break times, running, playing, commuting, and long school days mean children’s footwear is subjected to especially intensive use. For this reason, Lejan’s school shoes are designed to combine the key characteristics of barefoot footwear with a construction made to keep up with children throughout their daily school routine.

A Shoe Designed to Grow, Play, and Last

During childhood, feet are constantly developing. Choosing the correct size and ensuring there is enough room inside the shoe is particularly important to prevent the toes from being compressed.

Lejan’s school shoes feature a forefoot shape designed around the natural anatomy of the foot, giving the toes more room than traditional narrow-toe school shoes.

The flexibility of the sole also allows the shoe to move more naturally with children as they walk, run, or play during break time. These features are combined with materials and a construction designed to withstand the frequent use associated with the school environment, where footwear needs to perform for many hours and across a wide variety of situations.

The result is a school shoe designed to balance freedom of movement, comfort, durability, and a simple aesthetic that is easy to pair with school uniforms and everyday school outfits.

Back to School Starts with the Feet Too

With its children’s school shoes, Lejan brings its philosophy of giving feet greater space and freedom of movement into the school environment, without overlooking one of the main requirements of children’s footwear: the ability to keep up with the children wearing it.

It is a back-to-school option designed not only around how the foot moves, but also around everything that happens around it throughout a typical school day.

Lejan’s children’s school shoes are available at lejanbrand.com.

About Lejan

Lejan is a barefoot footwear brand founded in 2024 with the aim of combining the principles of foot-friendly footwear with designs created for everyday life. Its models feature flexible soles, zero drop, and anatomical toe boxes, with options for both adults and children that combine functionality, design, and durability for everyday wear.
