Dear Friends
Shehri-Citizens for a Better Environment in collaboration with the Department of Architecture & Planning, NED University of Engineering and Technology, Karachi, and financial support of the Friedrich Naumann Foundation, Pakistan, recently undertook a Study that aims to address the challenge of improving environmental conditions in Karachi. The Study focused on developing a ‘profile’ of Karachi City within the context of ‘Urbanization and Climate Change’.
The ‘profile’ prepared can be termed as a ‘Roadmap’ to developing a ‘Climate Change Adaptation Strategy for Karachi City’ looks into identifying some critical ‘vulnerabilities’ the city may be exposed to in the event of climate change and the possible ‘consequences’ of climate change on key physical and natural environment and resources along with development and governance ‘processes’ and ‘activities’ related with urbanization in Karachi. Recommendations have been made to improve the ‘adaptive capacity’ of the city to prepare itself better to effectively cope with possible climate change scenarios and consequences. The Study may serve as a ‘pioneering’ effort within Karachi’s and Pakistan’s context that should serve as a ‘guiding’ document for the urban policy and decision makers not just in Karachi but in other national urban centers by laying the basic ground work for further research and action.
In this regard, a Stakeholder Workshop is being organized on Tuesday, April 24, 2012 at Hotel Reagent Plaza, Karachi to share the critical findings of the Study with relevant stakeholders and stimulate discussion and hopefully initiate a ‘visioning’ process for moving towards developing a comprehensive ‘Climate Change Adaptation Strategy for Karachi (programme attached).
Kindly confirm your participation on (021) 34530646, 34382298 or email in...@shehri.org
