New presentation – Climate Change in Gilgit-Baltistan: impacts on humans and hazards

Posted by Dave Petley

Today I am giving a presentation at a UNPO meeting in Brussels entitled:  Gilgit Baltistan: A Critical but Unknown Pivot of South Asia under Threat.  My presentation is entitled “Climate Change in Gilgit-Baltistan: impacts on humans and hazards”.  The talk examines the range of natural hazards in this area of NE. Pakistan, including the potential effects of earthquakes and climate change, and it highlights of course the Attabad landslide.  A pdf of the presentation should be available here: 11_05 EU Gilgit Petley
