The Arctic and the Hindu-Kush Himalaya – Part 2

In this episode, we continue our series on the Arctic and the Hindu-Kush Himalaya — this time turning from science to policy and action. What do recent findings mean for decision-making? And how can the concept of a cryosphere corridor guide interregional collaboration between these two vital regions? Moderating the session was Santosh Kumar Rauniyar, Project Advisor at the Ocean Policy Research Institute of the Sasakawa Peace Foundation. This conversation was recorded live at the Arctic Circle India Forum, held in New Delhi on May 3–4, 2025, and is part of the Polar Dialogue. Arctic Circle is the largest network of international dialogue and cooperation on the future of the Arctic. It is an open democratic platform with participation from governments, organizations, corporations, universities, think tanks, environmental associations, Indigenous communities, concerned citizens, and others interested in the development of the Arctic and its consequences for the future of the globe.
