PHENOLOGICAL SHIFTS: CLIMATE CHANGE IS ALTERING THE FLOWERING ‘CALENDAR’

Climate change is altering plant flowering timings, causing phenological shifts that disrupt synchrony with pollinators. This mismatch reduces pollination, weakens food webs, and raises extinction risks. Evidence from early mango blooming and Himalayan ecosystem changes shows growing vulnerability, demanding monitoring, ecosystem-based conservation, and stronger climate action.

GLACIER DISAPPERANCE PROJECTED TO PEAK MID- CENTURY

Global glacier loss may peak during 2041–55, with up to 4,000 glaciers disappearing yearly. This threatens water security worldwide, especially in the Hindu Kush Himalaya. For India, higher GLOF risks and seasonal rivers loom. Limiting warming to 1.5°C remains crucial to save nearly half of global glaciers.
