Climate Change In Kashmir

A dog searches for food as household waste lies on the banks of Asia's second-largest freshwater lake, Wular, in Sopore, Jammu and Kashmir, India, on January 10, 2026. This situation serves as a stark reminder of the climate change impact on the region, as the lake, usually submerged, dries up due to a lack of snowfall and rainfall, affecting the livelihoods of thousands who depend on it for fishing and water chestnuts.
