The event took place at the Governor House, Peshawar, where experts, officials, and stakeholders gathered to discuss strategies to mitigate the growing risks posed by natural disasters and environmental changes.

Governor Kundi highlighted that the effects of climate change are becoming increasingly severe, with the country now facing unprecedented disasters that are impacting food security, the economy, and social structures. He noted that Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, along with the entire country, is currently experiencing extraordinary climatic conditions, underscoring the need for effective institutional and community-level strategies to reduce disaster risks.

The summit was attended by PRCS KP Chairman Mr. Farzand Ali Wazir, environmental experts, educators, and officials from relevant government departments.
