Climate change hazards, risks, and vulnerabilities assessment in schools in Pakistan: piloting alocalised participatory assessment

Study Overview

The study aims at collaboratively contextualizing UNESCO’s and Viet Nam Ministry of Education and Training’s ‘Assessment and preparedness toolkit’ into Pakistan’s context and will pilot the newly adapted ‘Climate Risk School Assessment Tool’ for identification and mapping of hazards inside and outside school communities. More broadly, the study will generate empirical evidence on local hazards, risk and vulnerabilities faced by school communities, their capacities and barriers to effective management. The study will provide insights into processes of tool contextualisation, learnings about tool acceptability, feasibility and value, and highlight key considerations for scaling climate risk assessment and response in educational setting in Pakistan.
