Himalayan Climate Watch Network

Himalayan Climate Watch Network (HCWN) is building an Indigenous-led climate knowledge ecosystem for the Himalayan region. We centre Traditional Ecological Knowledge, community climate insights, and South–South collaboration so Himalayan communities can lead climate understanding, adaptation, and governance.

The inaugural HCWN Fellowship brings together six Indigenous and community-rooted storytellers working across the Himalayan region. Through three months of learning, independent field research, community engagement and editorial development, the fellows are documenting environmental change through the knowledge systems, histories and lived realities of the communities they are connected to. Their work spans oral ecological knowledge, pastoralism, traditional medicine, agriculture, sacred landscapes, disaster preparedness and post-disaster recovery.
