        亚洲水塔"是高亚地区及其下游人类活动重要的水源，产生了重要的社会经济效应，在区域经济发展中起着举足轻重的作用。文章阐述并列举了"亚洲水塔"在高亚地区的社会和经济效应，不仅给经济发展如地区农业带来巨大的效益，同时，因其产生的水资源在高亚干旱地区具有稀缺性，亦会带来潜在资源冲突。气候变化的影响会进一步带来不确定性，由此导致的"亚洲水塔"退化将从根本上改变高亚地区的未来经济发展。应对和适应变化、建立可持续发展路径应是当务之急。文章进一步阐述了高亚地区国家层面上优先关注的联合国2030年可持续发展目标，以及"亚洲水塔"冰冻圈服务和实现可持续发展目标的联系。

        Asian Water Tower (AWT) provides population in High Asia and broader areas in downstream with critical water resource, creating significant socioeconomic values. It is also unreplaceable in regional economic development in central and south Asia. Moreover, the associated region is an example of regional development to share the common future in Road and Belt Initiatives. This article shed a light on and provides various examples about AWT's socioeconomic effects in High Asia Region. Not only does it support the regional development, but also the competition for AWT's water resources due to its increasing scarcity in dryland would potentially bring in conflicts. That would become even more uncertain and challenging when the deterioration of AWT is considered as a result of climate change. It would then fundamentally change the future development in High Asia Region. Therefore, it is urgent to respond and adapt to the change by developing sustainable pathways. This article further address the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that are most concerned by the countries in High Asia Region, and illustrate the relations of the cryosphere services of AWT to the implementation of SDGs.
