Disaster Risk Reduction: Improving Livelihoods in the Himalayas |
|---|
|
Owing to geo-environmental constraints, subsistence agriculture has contributed as a main source of rural livelihood in the region. However, during the recent years , as a resultant of Climate Change, an increased severity and frequency of natural disasters has engulfed the region, having consequences that may possibly extend beyond the depletion of mountain resources. It is therefore highly imperative to build capacity of local communities through evoking a holistic framework for sustainable livelihoods and model-specific action plans that are suited to the demographics of the Himalayas. this can be attained through diversification of opportunities and inculcating a sense of resilience amongst the masses, in additional to strengthening traditional knowledge alongside institutional management. On a personal note, however, I feel it is equally significant to launch a global as well as a regional effort in collaboration with all relevant stakeholders to target the issues at hand at grassroot levels and involve the local communities to mitigate the effects- thus, not only enhancing cooperation but also establishing a positive precedent for future generations: the Youth! |

I agree with you Ali. A nation or an individual can't improve this situation. We need to put our efforts all together.

@Sabin: you might want to visit Pakistan for yourself! Go high in the mountains for skiing, and stay in one of the resorts- you'll have a great time!

Of course! Pakistan's an amazing place: wonderful people, delicious food, great architecture, climatic regions ranging from the Freezing mountains in the north to the coastal climate in the south! Its a wonderful place (certainly NOT what media portrays!)
