Federal Minister for Climate Change Dr. Musadik Malik has inspected key early warning system sites in Shigar District, Gilgit-Baltistan, highlighting the government’s ongoing commitment to strengthening climate resilience in vulnerable mountain communities. The visit focused on the Golapur and Barah areas, both of which house populations at heightened risk from natural disasters.<\/p>\n
During his tour, Dr. Malik was briefed by officials from local institutions and the district administration on the operational status and effectiveness of the early warning systems. These systems are crucial for safeguarding residents against climate-induced threats such as glacial lake outburst floods, landslides, and flash floods\u2014hazards that are becoming more frequent due to shifting weather patterns and melting glaciers.<\/p>\n
Dr. Malik stressed the urgent need for proactive disaster risk management and underscored the government\u2019s responsibility to protect families living in these high-risk zones. He emphasized that the safety of local residents is a priority and not a matter of choice.<\/p>\n
The early warning system project is an essential part of Pakistan\u2019s broader climate adaptation framework, especially in Gilgit-Baltistan, where environmental changes are intensifying natural hazards.
