With two other poles North and South under serious impact of Global Warming it's time to move the spotlight on the way of life, experiences and innovations of those who live on the world's 3rd and living Pole - Tibet. TAR's unique Eco system born of extreme geography and climate has always showcased elements and traits associated with trendy start up culture of the 21st century. The people here are the original disruptors of naturally harsh and challenging conditions. Something the world at large now faces moving forward. As guardians of a unique cultural and economic system, their innovative and holistic approaches have the power catylise modernity and find its lost balance. In this context how can the Media - international and local, traditional and new, play a role in connecting the timeless ingenuity at the roof of the world together with challenges being faced by those at the bottom in order to move towards a new and more sustainable model of development itself. One they say is inspired from the TOP - Tibet.
