5. Are you interested in:

Closing the priority knowledge gaps identified through the LAKI for the Hindu Kush Himalayan subregion? (if yes, see questions 6 and 7)

Getting more information about the priority knowledge gaps identified through the LAKI for the other subregions (i.e. Andean subregion, Gulf Cooperation Council subregion, Southern Africa subregion, Indian Ocean island countries subregion) (if yes, see question 8)

Supporting the implementation of the LAKI as a subregional coordination entity (such as ICIMOD for the Hindu Kush Himalayan subregion) or as a partner, in new subregions, in collaboration with UNEP? (if yes, see questions 9 and 10)

Question Title

6. For the Hindu Kush Himalayan subregion, which knowledge gap would you be interested in closing?

Limited access to adequate locally usable knowledge and information on weather and seasonal forecasting to assist farm production operations

Weak dissemination of evidence and successful water management practices, adaptation technologies, and water allocation and management during periods of scarcity and abundance

Lack of access to awareness-raising products and early warning systems for multiple hazards (drought, landslide, debris flow, flooding, glacier lake outburst flood in the Himalayas and downstream communities)

Inadequate information and knowledge on adaptation options and technologies suitable to address context-specific climate extremes, impacts and risks for agriculture and the net effect of climate change at the local level

Limited access to weather and seasonal forecasting data for public health preparedness (heatwaves, cold waves, thunderstorms and epidemics)

Limited access to traditional knowledge and indigenous knowledge on agricultural adaptation

Poor translations of climate data and models into understandable formats

Lack of awareness of/sensitization among the public and the media about climate change health impacts and adaptation/response measures

Limited understanding of traditional knowledge and indigenous knowledge on agricultural adaptation

Knowledge on how climate change is impacting water source/usage/availability/quality (including sanitation/water treatment/water inputs for energy/springs and natural wells, groundwater, spring water and glaciers)

Knowledge gap on methodologies and tools to quantify the impact of climate change on ecosystem services

Lack of understanding/evidence of potential health co-benefits of climate change adaptation and mitigation measures in various sectors

Lack of adequate knowledge on the effects of climate change on biodiversity

Need for repackaging the baseline data on the effects of climate change on forests and biodiversity for different target groups

Insufficient information on local indigenous knowledge on forest management

Insufficient climate change communication on the impacts on water systems/water availability to determine climate change impacts and inform decision-making in designing water resource plans and implementation
