We are pleased to share the synthesis report of the E-conference on "Climate Change and the Himalayan Glaciers", held from 7 May 2007 to 30 May 2007 to celebrate the World Environment Day (WED 2007) in Nepal and the Himalayas.
The event was organised by *ClimateHimalaya*, a voluntary electronic network of climate change professionals working across the region. ClimateHimalaya is a pilot project of the *Environmentalists' Association of Nepal* and aims to develop a mechanism in which all regional and international experts working in this region can interplay to produce better information to tackle various issues related to climate change and its subsequent effect on different landscapes and at different ecological levels. The present e-conference is the first attempt toward attaining this goal.
During the e-conference, we received about 161 entries from around 150 participants representing 26 countries of Africa, Asia, Europe and North America. Out of this about 60% were from Himalayan countries and rest from other parts of the world.
We like to take this opportunity to thank you all who have contributed to make this e-conference a big success.

*Your support to circulate this information to a wider reach would be highly appreciated.*
Sincerely,
Mr. Tek Jung Mahat, Dr. Madan Koirala, Mr. Laxman Belbase and
