Ice Stupas of Ladakh | Adaptation

Communities in the arid high-mountain region of Ladakh rely on glacial water to feed streams and water crops during the spring and summer months. Global warming is dramatically reshaping the future of these areas. In this episode of Adaptation, Alizé meets Sonam Wangchuk, a Ladakhi teacher and engineer who has devised an extraordinary method to capture and store excess glacial runoff into magnificent ice pyramids.

Explore this episode through a three-part educational framework centered around Place, Climate, and Action. Learn how these experiences are grounded both spatially and culturally (Place), how this connects to the local environment and the changes being felt (Climate), and what communities are doing to adapt (Action).
