Global Warming bears tremendous consequences on the glaciers of Northern Pakistan, leading to extensive glacial melts which result in Glacial Lake Outburst Floods (GLOFs), making human lives and habitations highly susceptible to the disastrous impacts of Climate Change. To address the threats posed by Climate Change in the form of climate-induced disasters such as GLOFs, the Ministry of Climate Change & Environmental Coordination, in partnership with UNDP Pakistan is implementing the Scaling up of Glacial Lake Outburst Flood (GLOF) Risk Reduction (GLOF-II) Project supported by the Green Climate Fund to enhance climate-resilience of the communities in twenty-four (24) valleys of ten (10) districts of Gilgit Baltistan (GB), and eight (08) districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP). The Project’s multi-layered approach to cementing climate resilience entails strengthening national and sub-national institutional capacities for climate responsive planning and development; and scaling up of community based Early Warning System(s) and long term climate-adaptation measures through capacity enhancement trainings to reduce GLOF risks, directly benefitting 696,342 people (348,171 men and 348,171 women).
