ISLAMABAD: Pakistan continues to face the increasing challenges of climate change, according to National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA).

Recognised as one of the humanity’s greatest security threats, climate change acts as a risk multiplier, exacerbating hazards with profound potential consequences, says NDMA.

In response, NDMA has taken a proactive step by launching a series of documentaries aimed at raising awareness about climate change, hazard profiles, and area-specific vulnerabilities.

This initiative is part of NDMA’s robust risk communication strategy, designed to enhance public understanding and foster a culture of preparedness among communities.

In this video, it has been explored how to retrofit the process of upgrading existing buildings and infrastructure to improve safety, resilience, and efficiency.
