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?
