Ahead of the C0P28, Tibetan environment advocates gather with downstream nation water experts at the 4th Tibet Environment Conference in Bangkok. The experts discussed the urgent situation of water security in the region and called for stronger inter-regional data sharing, cooperation, and urged for governments to respect indigenous knowledge to build climate resilience, and pressed for the inclusion of local people in the governance of transboundary water resources.

Experts at the conference, organised by the Tibet Policy Institute, including Tibetan environment scholars Tempa Gyaltsen Zamlha (Innsbruck University, Austria), Tsechu Dolma (Mountain Resilience Project, USA), Dr. Lobsang Yangtso (International Tibet Network, India), Dhondup Wangmo (Tibet Policy Institute- CTA, India), Dr. Tenzin Tsering (University of Eastern Finland, Finland), and Dr. Dechen Palmo (Tibet Policy Institute-CTA, India).

Unlike previous years there a Tibet delegation will not be present at the COP28 this year. This is due to the restrictions for Tibetan representation at COPs. China continues to be given a platform to promote itself as a ‘climate champion’ when in reality the Chinese government continue to exploit and plunder Tibet’s natural resources, forcefully remove Tibetan nomads from the traditional grasslands and arrest and imprison Tibetan environment defenders.

As if China haven't stolen enough from Tibet, now it is trying to steal it's name!

In a political manoeuvre China has replaced the use of the “Tibet” with “Xizang” in official diplomatic documents and is pressing for governments to do the same.

Earlier in October an official Chinese government outlet stated that “there is no more Tibet in the official documents of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs.”

This change has been promoted by Chinese Communist Party scholars who believe the amendment will prevent the Dalai Lama from reestablishing the right to speak about Tibet.

Who is A-Nya?
A-Nya is a Tibetan environmental activist, who campaigned against alleged corruption, illegal mining activities and the illegal hunting and poaching of endangered animals in Tibet.
In 2019 China sentenced A-Nya Sengdra to a 7-year prison after he was tried on false charges of “gathering people to disturb public order when he was simply resisting China's failed Tibet policies and pressing for environmental protection and end to local authority corruption. A-Nya was beaten by Chinese security officers and held for over 14 months without trial. His arrest and detention are a direct response to his peaceful activism as an environmentalist, community leader and anti-corruption activist.
