Nusrat Nasab, Climate and Disaster Risk Reduction Specialist

Nusrat Nasab has built her career on understanding what climate change actually means for the most vulnerable communities in Pakistan’s mountain regions. Working with the Aga Khan Agency for Habitat, she has led hazard and risk assessments across Gilgit-Baltistan and Chitral, mapping the growing threat of glacial lake outburst floods, landslides, and flash floods to villages that have few resources to protect themselves. She has presented her research at international conferences and contributed to landmark publications on disaster risk reduction in the Hindu Kush Himalaya, consistently making the case that early warning systems and community preparedness are not optional extras but lifesaving necessities.
