COP27: "Mitigating Avalanche Risk in High Mountain Asia: Community-Led and Data-Driven Approaches"Sharm el-SheikhEgypt
16/11/2022 16/11/2022Mountain communities are on the front line of climate change. Already exposed to multiple natural and climate-related hazards, mountain areas are heating twice as fast as global averages. The intensity and frequency of deadly natural hazards such as snow avalanche is expected to increase as a result. Yet despite this growing risk, mountain communities are too often overlooked in global climate policy debate and agenda-setting. More attention, resources, and solutions are required to understand and advance mountain adaptation.
The Aga Khan Agency for Habitat (AKAH) has developed a successful model combining hazard mapping, weather monitoring, avalanche forecasting, and community participation to mitigate the growing threat of avalanches. We invite you to join a discussion on how these solutions can be adapted to other areas and explore policy implications for scaling up community-led adaptation and connecting scientific and community-based approaches.
