The China's Academy of Sciences has just released a report revealing how climate change has impacted Tibet. It's based on the research program which took 20 experts nearly three years.

The report looks at the Tibetan Plateau's environmental changes, including climate, bodies' water, ecosystem, and effect of human activities

It concludes that the temperature on the Tibetan Plateau has increased twice as fast as the global average rate in the past 50 years, mainly due to global warming and the high altitude of the plateau.
