Himachal Pradesh, India is especially vulnerable to climate change. Its location in the Third Pole region, the glacial Himalayas, is also home to the largest freshwater body outside of the North and South Poles. Our goal was to amplify the impact of climate change using Instagram to illustrate indicators of and adaptations to climate change in this region. We recommend more citizen science participation and the establishment of skill centers to secure future livelihoods threatened by these impacts.
