The National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA), in collaboration with FOCUS Humanitarian Assistance Pakistan and EvK2CNR, conducted a two-day training on “Glacio-Hydrological Monitoring for Adaptive Water Banking”.
The training brought together Pakistani and Italian experts, researchers, academics, and government representatives to enhance technical capacity in glacier basin analysis, water balance hydrology, and GIS-based modelling for improved climate resilience, early warning, and disaster risk reduction across Pakistan’s Hindu Kush Himalaya (HKH) region.
Dr. Roberto Neccia, Deputy Head of Mission at the Italian Embassy in Islamabad, attended as Guest of Honour. Experts from EvK2CNR and leading Italian universities delivered specialized lectures and practical sessions on glacier dynamics, climate change impacts, satellite remote sensing, and sustainable mountain water resource management.
💧 Pakistan’s glaciers are a strategic freshwater resource. Strengthening scientific collaboration, technical expertise, and knowledge exchange is essential to safeguarding these resources and building a climate-resilient future.
