Antalya:Minister of State for Climate Change Dr Shizra Mansab Khan Kharal has said that Pakistan’s share in global greenhouse gas emissions is less than one percent, yet it remains among the countries most affected by climate change.<\/strong><\/p>\n

She said Pakistan must benefit from technology, adding that NIGRAAN is a platform through which ordinary citizens will be able to access complete and authentic information about climate change-related events.<\/strong><\/p>\n

She was speaking at the launching ceremony of NIGRAAN, Pakistan’s AI Geo Navigators platform for climate risk and early warning, held at the Pakistan Pavilion during COP31.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Speaking on the occasion, Chief Executive Officer of AI Geo Navigators Asim Javid and others also addressed the ceremony. The event was attended by Magdalena Mirwald, Policy Advisor Adaptation and Loss and Damage at Germanwatch, Lincoln Teo, Managing Director of ZERO13, Dr Shakeel Hayat, Regional Technical Adviser for Climate Resilient WASH for South Asia at WaterAid Pakistan, Zainab Naeem, Associate Research Fellow and Head of Ecological Sustainability and Circular Economy at the Sustainable Development Policy Institute, and others. The session was moderated by GIS Analyst Laiba Tanvir.<\/strong><\/p>\n

NIGRAAN aims to transform hyperlocal weather data into transparent, location-specific hazard predictions, projections and risk assessments. The AI-powered platform identifies exposed assets and locations, evaluates their vulnerability, and assesses potential impacts on infrastructure and operations.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Its key features include hyperlocal weather monitoring and hazard assessment, agentic AI-driven site and portfolio risk screening, a scenario-based Hybrid Lab, and conversational AI.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Through the Hybrid Lab, users will be able to create future hazard scenarios and examine their potential impacts, while conversational AI will provide information in plain language.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
