The project consists of five interconnected components, each addressing key aspects of Glacier Lake Outburst Floods (GLOFs) to enhance regional resilience.

1. Strengthening GLOF Monitoring and Assessment

• Develop glacier lake inventories and monitoring strategies.
• Enhance national and regional capacity for hazard mapping and monitoring.
• Conduct workshops to build organizational capacity.

2. Policies and Approaches for Vulnerable Communities

• Create vulnerability assessments and exposure maps.
• Integrate disaster risk reduction (DRR) and climate adaptation into sub-national development plans.
• Engage communities in planning and implementing risk reduction measures.

3. Design and Launch of Early Warning Systems (EWS) and Risk Reduction Measures

• Establish local and regional EWS frameworks.
• Design and implement site-specific EWSs.
• Build regional capacity to minimize GLOF impacts.

4. Targeted Demonstration Projects for Vulnerable Communities

• Pilot EWS technology and low-cost adaptation measures.
• Train community members and conduct preparedness exercises.
• Develop strategies for long-term maintenance and financing.

5. Knowledge Exchange and Stakeholder Engagement

• Launch a web-based platform to share insights, research, and best practices.
• Implement education and capacity-building programs.
• Share lessons from demonstration projects to foster collaboration.
