Experts have called for creating awareness and sensitising people and policymakers to the impact of climate change as the federal capital can feel its impact through prolonged dry weather. Speakers at a talk organised by the Aga Khan Development Network (AKDN) stressed that dry climatic conditions in Islamabad could not be seen in isolation because of melting glaciers. The event also displayed the internationally recognised documentary series "Voices from the Roof of the World (VRW)", highlighting the far-reaching impact of environmental change on local communities and even wildlife across Central and South Asia. The series covers documentaries belonging to the region around the Himalayas to Pamirs. AKDN Pakistan Communications Director Laila Naz Taj underlined the need to protect glaciers for population of the entire region and not just Pakistan. "VRW's unique expression of local realities highlights the impact of climate change on the lives and cultures of vulnerable communities while narrating the story of a changing era," she added.
