(April 9-14, 2025   Islamabad, Pakistan)

I. Description

The United Nations declared 2025 as the International Year of Glaciers' Preservation which is to raise global awareness about the critical role of glaciers, snow and ice in the climate system and the hydrological cycle, and the economic, social and environmental impacts of the impending changes in the Earth’s cryosphere.

Building upon the robust research capabilities in cryosphere and cryospheric disaster research and observation at the China-Pakistan Joint Research Center on Earth Sciences (CPJRC), the training program endeavors to offer scientific and technological training courses for countries along the China Pakistan Economic Corridors (CPEC) as well as Hindu Kush Himalaya (HKH) countries. This training initiative is designed to nurture talents in science and technology while fostering collaboration in science and education among different countries.

II. Objective 

The objective of the training program is to enhance participants' capacity for climate change, cryosphere and disaster reduction in HKH regions, thereby advancing scientific understanding of glacial,permafrost, snow cover, and other cryospheric elements changes, and strengthening international cooperation.
