Building Climate Resilience in Pakistan’s High Mountain Regions
The high-altitude mountainous regions of Pakistan are experiencing unprecedented changes in snowpack and water delivery due to climate change. Stanford’s 2019 Bright Award winner, Aisha Khan, implements on-the-ground projects to strengthen the adaptive resilience of unserved and underserved communities in these remote mountain regions.
Listen to Professor Buzz Thompson’s discussion with Ms. Khan to hear about how she empowers communities by helping them to plot their own development trajectories and build capacity for local stewardship, while also promoting gender equality by requiring that women make up at least 40% of the community decision-making board. Ms. Khan will also discuss her work at the national and international levels through her position as executive director of the Civil Society Coalition for Climate Change, a network of organizations and individuals working to promote climate related adaptation in Pakistan.
