One of the components is Energy Plus “ Energy for Climate Resilience focused on Gilgit-Baltistan province and Upper & Lower Chitral districts in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa”. This programe will create resilient hydropower facilities and support more efficient use of energy for a sustainable transition to renewable energy. It will also contribute to a more sustainable management of natural resources through a massive tree planting programme. Additionally, it will strengthen provincial government capacity for policy-making, with a focus on participatory planning, implementation and monitoring in energy and natural resources sectors.
