GLOFCA Launches New Platform to Support Early Warning and Risk Reduction in Central Asia

After months of dedicated work, the GLOFCA project has launched a fully refreshed platform to reflect the growing momentum behind its mission: reducing the risk of glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs) in four Central Asian countries—Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan.

EClim plays a central role in the project’s implementation through key contributions from Simon Allen, Laura Niggli, and Christian Huggel, who bring their expertise in cryosphere hazards, climate risk assessment, and early warning systems (EWS).

🔍 What’s new on the site:

  • Updated pages on pilot sites across the region
  • New knowledge resources and tools for local and regional stakeholders
  • Insights into EWS installations starting soon in high-risk areas

The GLOFCA project is not only advancing technical solutions, but also investing in local capacity building and regional cooperation to build long-term resilience to cryosphere-related hazards.
