TIMELINETHE JOURNEY OF TPE
START...
2009
TIMELINETHE JOURNEY OF TPE
2009 Third Pole Envrionment was established to characterize Earth System interactions over broader Tibetan Plateau region
2009
TIMELINETHE JOURNEY OF TPE
2011TPE becomes a sponsored flagship project under the auspices of UNESCO, UNEP,SCOPE and the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
2011
TIMELINETHE JOURNEY OF TPE
2022 TPE includes over 300 researches from 30 countries, with expertise spanning meteorology, hydrology, glaciology,ecology and paleoclimatology.
2022
TIMELINETHE JOURNEY OF TPE
2022TPE boasts a field observation platform consisting of more than 20 stations in poorly investigated places in the Third Pole region.
2022
TIMELINETHE JOURNEY OF TPE
2022TPE works closely with UNEP, WMO, WCRP as well as other relevant stakeholders, which resulted in the April 2022 UNEP report."A Scientific Assessment of Third Pole Environment"
2022
TIMELINETHE JOURNEY OF TPE
2022offering the first comprehensive synthesis of contemporary environmental changes across the broader Tibetan Plateau region.
2022
Given intensifying impacts of climate warming and broader environmental change
A strategic Priority reset is needed!

Key scientifc question
Better understand its emerging trends, imbalance, and resulting impacts
Before
After
Priorities
examining multi-sphere processes linked with abrupt changes in past and present climate, water, ecosystem, and importantly, their subsequent hazards.
AWT imbalance-related hazards
carbon budget of the region
How will changes in the Third Pole environment impact permafrost carbon storage?
How will changes in the Third Pole environment impact water resources?
carbon
HAZARDS
- what would be the critical environmental risk caused by muti-sphere changes and their interactions?
- what guides for climate adaptation can the TPE community suggest locally, regionally, and globally?
