Welcome!

Welcome to the page of the Regional Glacial Lake Outburst Flood (GLOF) Risk Reduction Project in the Himalayas! This project is jointly funded by the European Commission Humanitarian Aid department (ECHO) and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Bureau for Crisis Prevention and Recovery (BCPR).

The Regional project aims to address the risks posed by GLOFs in the Hindu Kush-Himalaya (HKH) region through strengthening non-structural and community-based approaches.

The Regional project is based in four countries in the Hindu-Kush-Himalayas, geographically dispersed across the HKH range as follows:

  • Bhutan in the eastern Himalayas
  • Nepal in the Central Himalayas
  • Himachal Pradesh, India in the western Himalayas
  • Northern Areas of Pakistan at the northern junction of the Hindu Kush and Himalayas ranges
