The Tibetan plateau holds the world's third-largest store of freshwater ice. People across Asia rely on the water from Tibet every day. And Tibet is heating three times faster than anywhere else on Earth. Because of this, nearly 2 billion people are at risk of water shortages and food insecurity.
The Chinese government refuses to protect Tibet's environment; in fact, their policies have aggravated the situation in Tibet, with monstrous hydropower dams and exploitative mining. Because of these projects, millions of Tibetans are being forcibly displaced from their ancestral lands. And Tibetans who speak up about their experiences on the front-line of the climate crisis face the possibility of being detained or tortured.
Sign the petition now to stand in solidarity with Tibetans defending their environment.
