Gilgit-Baltistan: Pakistan's tourist jewel tested by development and climate change

Gilgit-Baltistan, particularly the Hunza Valley, has seen remarkable progress in education and healthcare, largely due to initiatives from the Aga Khan Development Network. This transformation has turned the region into a tourist hotspot, but now faces challenges from climate change. The area's development model serves as a beacon for other regions, yet climate change threatens its sustainability, raising questions about how to balance progress with environmental preservation. This situation underscores the broader global struggle between development and ecological responsibility.
