Mountain ecosystems represent some of the most sensitive and fragile environments on the planet, hosting unique biodiversity, providing water resources, and supporting human communities that depend on them for survival. Climate change has begun to alter the delicate balance of these systems, introducing a range of environmental, ecological, and socio-economic consequences. The impacts of rising temperatures, changing precipitation patterns, glacial retreat, and increased frequency of extreme weather events have already become evident in mountainous regions across the world. These effects threaten not only the ecosystems themselves but also the livelihoods of millions of people who rely on the services that these ecosystems provide. One of the most visible impacts of climate change on mountain ecosystems is the accelerated retreat of glaciers. Glaciers serve as natural water reservoirs, slowly releasing meltwater during warmer months to sustain rivers and streams. Due to global warming, glaciers in ranges such as the Himalayas, the Andes, and the Alps are shrinking at unprecedented rates. This retreat has a dual effect: initially, it increases the flow of rivers, causing floods and landslides, but in the long run, it results in reduced water availability. Communities downstream that depend on glacial melt for agriculture, drinking water, and hydropower are thus highly vulnerable.
