SERVIR Himalaya Youth Forum Islamabad

A group of 30 young activist from all over the country gathered in a youth forum at Institute of Space Technoloogy Islamabad from Dec 7 to 10 in order to interact on Climate change issues. The Forum was organized by International centre for integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD) in colloboration with LEAD Pakistan, IST and SUPARCO. Training in GIS and Remote Sensing was also a part of the Forum beside lectures and presenation on the subject by experts of the subject of climate change. It was a nice gathering of youth some of whom were very vocal on the subject and had even attended international seminars on climate change.  For me it was a source of great learning and opportunity to learn some basic technical knowlegde like GIS and RS.  Experts from ICIMOD of whom a Dutchman Mr. Sebastian was of a particular to mention for effective conduction of the seminar.  Beside some from LEAD Pakistan were also very much dedicated towards the goals of the forum.  Our stay in G6/4
