Bhutan contributes nothing to climate change, but is struggling with its consequences. Glaciers are melting, the monsoon rains come irregularly, drought and floods are destroying crops. But the country is fighting the water crisis with bold ideas.

One day I will visit BHUTAN, that is my dream (from Sri Lanka) 🇱🇰
in my village many women wasting so much water without any reason, how to stop them?
Elephants need water also !!!
Sadly there is droughts everywhere including in the Western United States. It’s terrible. We have got to start to reserve our water supplies. Build water catchment systems and so on.
India stands with Bhutan to combat every climate change disasters.
Population needs to be in balance with jobs, resources, nature and the environment. Having a bigger population in any country than the country can support makes no sense. Access to food, water, shelter and jobs should guide population levels. The worlds population is still expected to add another billion people to feed, clothe and produce pollution. Humans are crowding out all other species of plants and animals. Education and birth control are key to reducing poverty and hunger. Having a child that you can not provide for yourself is cruel and irresponsible. We need solutions not just sympathy. Endless population growth is not sustainable on a finite planet. Every country needs to "TRY" to be more self sufficient. When there are not enough resources to sustain a population something has to give. Countries need to focus on quality of life for their citizens and not just quantity of life for cheap labor.
Climate Change is making weather events more extreme. This will impact the worlds food supply.
Floods, droughts, fires, excessive heat and low water levels in reservoirs and in ground water storage are becoming more common. We must stop adding more fossil fuels to the climate fire.
India, China, Brazil, Japan, US, Europe, Indonesia, Canada, Germany and Australia need to do more to reduce use of fossil fuels. They must stop building and financing more coal fossil fuels power plants.
Time to go all in on wind and solar energy and electric vehicles.
Fossil fuels are a bad investment for people and the planet.
Investors are divesting from fossil fuels. ESG investing is growing.
The cost of dealing with the impact of climate change will be greater than the cost of reducing the impact.
The world population is expected to grow by another billion people. Where will the food come from ?
theres a easy solution for these kind of problems world wide
1) throw nuclear missiles in every country so that vast areas become unaccessable to humans
2) let nature take those areas back for the next 500 to 1000 years just like in chernobyl
3) more trees= more co2 recycling nature style = more cleaner oxygen
4) more wild life diversity thats undisturbed
you could say, thats a win win situation 😀
The most important point of these environmental videos is this: water shortage is all over the world and it seriously impacts food production all over the world. There is no one country that is immune from this problem.
The Earth will cleanse itself again
Globally CO2 emissions have increased by 65% since the Kyoto Protocol in 1992
its sad because bhutan is the only country in the world that is carbon negative
Rainwater Harvesting, Permaculture , Dams , Terracing. Fog Nets.
There are 30000 elephants across subcontinent we must strive to increase one more 0 in their population.
Waster crisis in water rich country
We all just need ro do our part to lessen the carbon dioxide emissions.
its not fossil fuels its jesus…ban buddiem and islam .
Shove your Global warm BS.
Same 'ole. Same 'ole. Don't cancel the Cows!!!
OH YES ANIMATION IS THE BEST EVIDENCE
Climate change is only real because the super powers of this world are MAKING it change through haarp weather machine cloudseeding chemtrails and direct energy weapons.
I wish someone strong enough would go after nestle
Storage!
Very concerning – everything about climate change. We all are not adapted
Elephants raiding your crops… and I complain about deer… could be worse…
Far cry 4
If we look at how green the vegetation,. Can they just build proper water infrastructure.. 🤔
Now I've heard it all! Climate change is causing elephants! LOL🤣.
BUTAN is OK no problem there.
There is no climate/change anyway. The globe is just a SystemMODEL
When ICE is melting (seasonal) then there is also water.
CoUNTtry. . .
Why al'ways use the word FIGHTing? Are you up for"war?
we could fix this world right now , if we just take all the billions from rich accounts and use them for all people , 10 mil usd max wealth for any private person will fix this planet in a heart beat
Climate change panic porn.
All races are present.
Bhutan king is the worst king .. never care its citizens
