Scaling-Up of Glacial Lake Outburst Flood (GLOF) Risk Reduction in Northern Pakistan: FP018
Project Outline
This project seeks to scale up ongoing initiatives on early warning systems and small, locally-sourced infrastructure to protect communities from GLOF risks. Based on activities implemented in two districts on a trial basis that have proven to be impactful, the proposed project will expand coverage to twelve districts in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Gilgit-Baltistan provinces and will strengthen the technical capacity of sub-national decision-makers to integrate climate change and disaster risk management into medium- and long-term development planning processes.
