13th Eastern Himalayan NaturenomicsTM Forum 2025
10th-11th December 2025
Guwahati, Assam, India
The Future Of The Third Pole And The Himsagar (Eastern Himalaya)
The Third Pole home to the world’s third-largest store of frozen water directly shapes the Eastern Himalaya’s environment, ecosystems, water systems, and communities. As shifting environmental conditions accelerates glacier melt, disrupts monsoons, and threatens biodiversity, the 13th EHNF will focus on solutions that secure the Eastern Himalaya’s role as a resilient ecological and economic hub within the Third Pole system.
