ISLAMABAD - Pakistan, grappling with an array of climate-in­duced and geo-meteoro­logical challenges, is tak­ing a substantial stride toward proactive disas­ter management. In response, this two-day event aspires to unite diverse stakeholders in a collaborative effort to craft a comprehensive roadmap for anticipatory action in Pakistan. Discus­sions revolved around constructing, reinforc­ing, and amplifying an­ticipatory action and forecast-based financing to mitigate the impact of anticipated disasters. Participants delved into strategies for integrating anticipatory action con­cepts into existing pro­jects and advancing the utilisation of weather and climate data for en­hanced disaster prepar­edness. By harnessing the collec­tive expertise of diverse stakeholders, the Na­tional Dialogue Platform aims to chart the course for a more anticipatory and effective disaster management approach in Pakistan.
