Remote sensing assessment of sustainable development in the Hindu Kush-Himalayan (HKH) Region
Remote sensing assessment of sustainable development in the Hindu Kush-Himalayan (HKH) Region[electronic resource] /by Shanlong Lu ... [et al.]. - Singapore :Springer Nature Singapore :2025. - xxiv, 248 p. :ill. (chiefly col.), digital ;24 cm.

Introduction -- Overview of HKH Region -- Agricultural Development -- Hydrology and Water Resources -- Forests and Grasslands -- Progresses of Sustainable Development in the HKH Region -- Research Drawbacks, Way forward and Conclusion -- Glossary.

This book serves as a vital foundation for regional collaboration, urging stakeholders to adopt innovative, interdisciplinary approaches. The Hindu Kush Himalaya (HKH) region, renowned for its ecological diversity and essential freshwater resources, faces pressing sustainability challenges that require comprehensive solutions. This assessment report unifies decades of research on the HKH, providing critical insights and practical strategies for sustainable development in the context of rapid urbanization and climate change. Through advanced analysis utilizing long-term time series models and satellite remote sensing data, the report addresses how urbanization and environmental shifts affect regional hydrology, how agricultural practices contribute to food security, and the extensive impacts of human activities on fragile ecosystems. In a bid to enhance knowledge-sharing, the report introduces a robust database platform, enabling researchers, policymakers, and local communities to access and apply critical data. This platform fosters a collective effort to respond effectively to environmental degradation and climate threats, while also creating a reference framework for other regions facing similar issues. Targeted toward policymakers, researchers, and sustainability practitioners, this report aims to drive informed decision-making, encourage sustainable practices, and protect the resilience of the HKH for future generations.
