DUBAI -- Filmmaker and environmental activist Jamyang Jamtsho Wangchuk brought a bit of his beloved Himalayas to the COP28 climate summit in Dubai last week. Around 250 milliliters of it, to be precise.
In a plastic Coca-Cola bottle he had found discarded in the mountains, Wangchuk collected water from three glacial lakes: Jichu Drake and Thorthormi in his home country of Bhutan and the highest glacial lake in the world, on Mount Everest's South Col. These form part of a landscape better known for its beautiful peaks than as a key Asian battleground in the fight against global warming.
