No.2 May 2018 some advice and suggestions for better implementation of this project. This project is involved in the second round of NSFC-ICIMOD Joint Programme list. NSFC has successfully funded 20 NSFC-ICIMOD projects in total since 2016 for the purpose of combining Chinese Scientists to ICIMOD scientists as well as scientists from ICIMOD member countries for joint researches in HKH regions. Researches Progress on POPs and PAHs Transport in Nepalese Cities Source http://www.itpcas.ac.cn/kycg/yjcg/201806/t201 80601_5020506.html Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) with persistence, toxicity and semi volatilization, can be transported to any part of the world through long distance atmospheric transmission. POPs and Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons(PAHs)from emissions of South Asian region have been found in environmental mediums in the Qinghai Tibet Plateau which is considered as the Third Pole of the Earth. To make clear of the impacts of （A） （B） POPs and PAHs from Nepal on the Qinghai Tibet Plateau, Prof. Wang Xiaoping from Institute of Tibetan Plateau Research, CAS, together with her PhD student BalramPokhrel conducted a series of researches on POPs and PAHs distribution modes in soil and atmosphere with three samples of Kathmandu, Pokhara and Hetauda, clarified the direction and flux of soil-air exchange by means of fugacity model, calculated the transmission distance of POPs by feature transport model, and concluded that the Himalayan and Qinghai Tibet Plateau regions would be the key receptors of the Nepal POPs. According to the research outcomes, emissions and distributions of POPs and PAHs in atmosphere and soil show difference by different land types in Kathmandu, Pokhara and Hetauda (Figure A, Paper1). The main organochlorine pesticides(OCPs) in atmosphere are DDTs and HCHs (Figure B, Paper1) and the regions of vegetable planting and sale are the main source regions for DDTs and HCHs(Figure C, paper 1). High concentration PAHs are mainly from places of religion (incense burning), brick kiln (coal burning) and busy markets (Paper 2). In terms of soil, soil with high concentration OCPs is mainly from Kathmandu and Pokhara markets Figure A: Sampling Sites; Figure B: POPs Concentrations in Kathmandu, Pokhara and Hetauda; FigureC: DDT (L side)and HCH(R side) trends （C） （D） by seasons in vegetable planting areas (K2,P2,H2)of Nepal; Figure D: The fugacity quotient of POPs (TOP)and PAH (DOWN)in gas and soil exchange process in Kathmandu and Pokhara.

A Research on POPs and PAHs exchange process between atmosphere andsoil in Nepal by fugacity model shows that the fugacity quotient of HCB, endosulfan and small molecules is more than 0.5, while the fugacity of DDT and macromolecule PAHs is less than 0.3, which indicates that the urban soil of Nepal is not only the "second source" of HCB, endosulfan and micromolecule PAHs but also the “sink” of DDTs and macromolecule PAHs (Figure D, Paper4). A series of researches above have clarified the distribution of POPs and PAHs in Nepal cities and the soil atmosphere exchange process. Considering the lack of POPs concentration data of Nepal, it is impossible to determine whether POPs in tropical climates can be transmitted to Himalaya region, however, this research just solved this problem and have made it easier to analyze the impact of Nepal’s emissions transport on Himalaya region and Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau. The research conclusion is that the transport distances of HCB andα-HCH are more than 1,000 km(Table 1,Paper1), so the Himalayan and Qinghai Tibet Plateau regions would be the key receptors of the Nepal POPs which offers a new proof for the fact that POPs of South Asia have transported to The Third Pole. This research is supported by CAS,NSFC and The Third Pole Plan.

Belt and Road Initiative 2018 International Workshop for Young Scientists of the HKH Session of the Second International Science Forum of National Science Organizations on the Belt and Road Initiative (First Circular) November 5-6,2018 Beijing • CHINA Background The Hindu Kush Himalayan (HKH) region extends 3,500 km over all or part of eight countries from Afghanistan in the west to Myanmar in the east. It is the source of ten large Asian river systems, the Amu Darya, Indus, Ganges, Brahmaputra (Yarlungtsanpo), Irrawaddy, Salween (Nu), Mekong (Lancang), Yangtze (Jinsha), Yellow River (Huanghe), and Tarim (Dayan), and provides water, ecosystem services, and the basis for livelihoods to a population of around 210.53 million people in the region. The basins of these rivers provide water to 1.3 billion people, a fifth of the world’s population. The Himalayan range alone has the total snow and ice cover of 35,110 sq.km containing 3,735 cu.km of eternal snow and ice. Hills and mountains, particularly the Hindu Kush Himalaya mountain system, have always constituted places where adaptation, mitigation, and resilience are hallmarks of the people and the landscape they inhabit. Since time immemorial, the people of the Himalaya have maintained a rich cultural diversity, and have maintained food security and biogenetic diversity within the parameters of their own tradition. 10 Due to this trans-boundary interconnectedness of natural resources and its high relevance in regional stability and sustainable and inclusive growth, regional cooperation is imperative in the management and development of natural resources. In order to create opportunities for young scientists and scholars in the region to exchange their knowledge and experience and promote regional cooperation, the one day workshop organized by the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences (UCAS), and co-organized by Institute of Mountain Hazards and Environments, Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Himalayan University Consortium (HUC) will be a session of “Belt and Road Forum, CAS” on 5-6 November, 2018. The Second International Science Forum of National Scientific Organizations on the Belt and Road Initiatives is to be held by Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) with “S&T cooperation and sustainable development for the Belt and Road Region” as the theme. The 2018 International Workshop for Young Scientists of the HKH is incorporated in the Session on capacity building, personal training and basic scientific research, with purpose to provide a platform for the young students, researchers and university and research institute administrators to exchange ideas for better collaborations. Theme of Workshop The workshop will be focused on climate change and sustainable development in HKH region. The major topics will include: Climate change Disaster risk reduction Biodiversity and stable ecosystem Water resources Livelihoods and poverty reduction Regional development Education and knowledge dissemination CNICIMOD Newsletter: Volume 11.
