\u2018Water lords\u2019 extort drought-stricken farmers in Bangladesh<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\"Irrigation<\/div>

This is a story of both the past and the future. The water-stressed Barind Tract, where about 40% of Bangladesh\u2019s rice is grown, has seen extensive human intervention. Outside the country, some of the waters of the transboundary Ganga<\/a> and the Teesta rivers are diverted by India before they reach Bangladesh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The use of deep-water pumps has created a sort of water stability in the region, but has also empowered those who own private pumps, as well as a state water bureaucracy that is insulated from the wants of marginal farmers. The owners of private pumps are both Hindu and Muslim, as are those who suffer, with indigenous and repressed caste groups being the most impacted. Solar pumps \u2013 though cleaner \u2013 have done nothing to change this dynamic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The greatest impact of climate change is on water availability, and as the climate crisis deepens, these inequities will become more pronounced. There are no easy, technocratic solutions to the poor and marginalised being deprived of what they need to survive, even if their efforts are what feed the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Animal deaths in community-run \u2018zoos\u2019 in Nepal raise alarm<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Nepal\u2019s community forests are an example of best practice in conservation, with more than 22,000 Community Forest Users\u2019 Groups across the country having helped to protect forests. But lately, some of these community groups have also started to establish informal zoos, where they keep animals rescued \u2013 or captured \u2013 from the forests they manage. Due to a lack of proper training or supervision by government agencies, some of these zoos have turned into a death trap for wild animals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While standard zoos run by the state are the focus of much debate, issues around these informal \u2018mini-zoos\u2019 had been left unreported. The story has highlighted the issue, bringing together details from the field and the voices of several stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Online panel discussion on the Joshimath disaster<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\"Cracks<\/div>
A quarter of the 2,500 buildings in the town of Joshimath have developed cracks or are sinking (Image: Puran Billangwal)<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

This year, we held some brilliant online panels featuring a wide array of experts. The event I am most proud of is a discussion hosted on our Hindi language Twitter account<\/a> analysing the Joshimath disaster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As our editor-at-large Joydeep Gupta explained in an article<\/a> on The Third Pole, in early January excessive construction and months of ignored warnings escalated land subsidence in the pilgrim town of Joshimath, in the Indian state of Uttarakhand. This caused dangerous cracks to form in hundreds of houses, necessitating the evacuation of thousands of residents. We further explored the topic via a discussion on Twitter Spaces, when Joydeep and our editorial assistant Shalinee Kumari were joined by journalists Varsha Singh and Hridayesh Joshi, both speaking live from Joshimath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The panel discussed the evacuation, the science and history behind the disaster, and the need to stop rampant construction in the fragile region. Activists from Uttarakhand also participated in the discussion, expressing concerns about the fate of the region and the insufficient consideration given to expert reports. More than 1,000 people tuned in, making this the most-listened Twitter Space on our Hindi account to date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Medical processes hide the true number of Indians dying from extreme heat<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Doctors in India have a problem: they know of cases when extreme heat is worsening health problems to the point of death, but they cannot say so. Heat stress is not accepted as a cause of death by insurance companies or in medical jurisprudence. Heart attack, stroke and acute dysentery are among the causes of death listed on medical certificates, even when the doctor knows that heatstroke has triggered an emergency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With climate change leading to more days of extreme heat in South Asia, in turn driving more cases of illness and death, this is an issue that needs to be addressed. This detailed report explains why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lasting toll of multiple climate disasters on Pakistan\u2019s women<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Like any humanitarian crisis, climate change affects some people and communities disproportionately. On this year\u2019s International Women\u2019s Day, we looked at how the burden of climate disasters falls upon on women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The report, published in March, explored the prevailing situation in Pakistan\u2019s Sindh province months after huge floods displaced millions of people. Highlighting the multi-layered challenges faced by women, it finds that women across the region were confronted with both a shortage of resources at home, where they are responsible for their household, childcare and the elderly, as well as health issues caused by compromised sanitation in the aftermath of the floods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Experts interviewed for the story pointed out how in situations where women\u2019s needs are the least prioritised, women suffer more than men due to a lack of equal access to resources that would help them better cope with climate-related disasters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Poorest districts worst affected in Ho Chi Minh City floods<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In 2021, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change stated that some climate impacts are almost certainly inevitable and irreversible. One of these impacts is expanding oceans: no matter what humanity does about greenhouse gas emissions from today onwards, the global scientific consensus is that the seas will rise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For many, this news is already lapping at their doorsteps, including the residents of Ho Chi Minh City in southern Vietnam. In this wide-ranging article, Ho Chi Minh City-based journalist Nhung Nguyen explores this global issue through the lens of precise locality: the city\u2019s historic use of makeshift wells that is causing subsidence; the newcomers who find themselves living in the most flood-prone districts; and the motorbike taxi driver who cannot earn a living when the floods arrive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mekong Delta shrimp farmers\u2019 enthusiasm for working with mangroves is waning<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ash Tan, assistant editor<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/div>
Picking through mangrove leaves, farmers harvest shrimp grown in ponds in the Mekong Delta in Vietnam (Image:\u00a0Thanh Nguyen<\/a>\u00a0\/ The Third Pole)<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

This in-depth story explores how a programme that sounds like a winner in theory \u2013 replanting lost mangroves in the Mekong Delta to create habitat for high-value organic shrimp \u2013 has met with significant issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the story, we hear from shrimp farmers themselves, who understand the importance of restoring mangroves as a carbon sink and as a buffer to extreme weather driven by climate change, but complain of poor yields and low prices for their organic shrimp. The integrated mangrove-shrimp farming model is now on \u2018shaky ground\u2019 in terms of support from farmers, the report finds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As governments and organisations worldwide roll out programmes aimed at adapting to the effects of climate change, it is a timely reminder for decision-makers to continually listen to participants and local communities. Stories like these show that such conversations simply aren\u2019t happening enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pakistan\u2019s trans community battles climate catastrophe and exclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Aron White, Asia Pacific editor<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Trans<\/div>

This article is a sensitively reported exploration of how climate change can intersect with existing vulnerabilities and inequities. It shines a light on how trans people in Pakistan \u2013 who face widespread discrimination \u2013 have faced major barriers in accessing disaster relief due to difficulties in obtaining official ID.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we were pitched this story, we were struck by the stories of trans people who, having already faced rejection from their families and wider communities, lost entire livelihoods in the floods of 2022<\/a> and were unable to access support and compensation. But we were also inspired by stories of leadership and determination from activists in the community who are pushing for policy changes that would transform disaster relief for trans people in Pakistan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crucially, the people we hear from in this article are not external observers commenting on the problems faced by trans people, but members of the community themselves, talking about their lived experience and their determination to make a change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Climate change glossary: the terms you need to understand, explained<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My favourite article published on The Third Pole in 2023 was this climate change\u00a0glossary, published simultaneously in English, Hindi<\/a>, Urdu<\/a>, Bengali<\/a> and Nepali<\/a>. The feature represents a major joint effort between not just our editors, but our translators too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the need of the hour, this glossary got a massive positive response. After publication in Urdu, it was translated into Sindhi by an academic, which shows the need for this kind of resource in a range of South Asian languages. As a living document, it will continue to be updated as new terminology emerges and evolves in the field of climate change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
