Aga Khan Agency for Habitat Wins World Habitat Awards Gold Award

Today the #AgaKhan Agency for Habitat, Pakistan (AKAH) won the #WorldHabitatAwards 2020 #GoldAward for its work helping #vulnerablecommunities in #Pakistan manage #disasterrisk and plan for a better future, using hazard vulnerability and #riskassessments. Combining the latest #scientific insights with the power of a #community that is prepared, #AKAH has helped set up plans for nearly 800 villages in Pakistan, reaching over one million people.
“For decades the AKDN has been working with vulnerable communities to improve quality of life and reduce disaster risk. Today in the face of the climate crisis, understanding and mitigating these risks is even more urgent. Only by helping these communities adapt and thrive in harmony with their often-precarious habitat can we hope to mitigate the effects of #climatechange.” - #PrinceRahim Aga Khan
