•Ev-K2-CNR

Ev-K2-CNR is a recognised, non-prof it association that promotes

collaborative development projects and scientif ic research

activities in mountain regions. The association’s activity, which

is also carried out in collaboration with international

organisations such as WWF (World Wide Fund for Nature),

UNEP (United Nations Environment Programme), UNDP

(United Nations Development Programme) and WMO (World

Meteorological Organization), ICIMOD (International Centre

for Integrated Mountain Development) as well as local

organisations, focuses on studying and monitoring climate

changes, climate change adaptation measures, safeguarding

biodiversity and the development of mountain populations.

United by the passion and respect for mountains, Ev-K2-CNR

and Moncler have been collaborating since 2014 to promote

environmental restoration and education programmes such

as Keep Karakorum Clean and Keep K2 Clean. Thanks

to these

initiatives, developed in collaboration with local institutions

and populations, base camps are annually cleaned up from

waste and restored to their natural condition.

In recent years, thanks to the cooperation with the authorities

of Central Karakorum National Park (CKNP) and Gilgit-

Baltistan Province (Pakistan), a waste sorting system has been

set up, allowing, to date, the collection of approximately

80 tonnes of solid and biological waste. These activities were

also carried out in 2024 by CKNP staf f, supported by local

entities, while environmental education activities aimed at

raising awareness among Pakistani operators on the

importance of preserving parks and glaciers, as well as

strengthening nature protection projects in the region,

continued under the direction of Ev-K2-CNR in close

cooperation with the Gilgit-Baltistan (Pakistan)

government, stakeholders and the local population.

In 2024, thanks to collaboration with the Karakorum

International University, Baltistan University and the Gilgit-

Baltistan Environmental Protection Agency for the Glacier

and Students project which aimed to deepen knowledge

of the cryosphere status in GilgitBaltistan Pakistan the

study The Inventory of 13032 Glaciers in Pakistan was

published in March The project was carried out with

the support of the Ministry of Foreign Af fairs and

International Cooperation in partnership with UNDP and

EVK2CNR collaborating with the University of Milan

the University of Cagliari Karakorum International University

Baltistan University and the Environmental Protection

Agency of GilgitBaltistan

This represents a signif icant Italian contribution to the

understanding of the glaciers and water resources in the region

which constitute the most important and enduring freshwater

reserve in Asia The result obtained was positively received

both from a scientif ic point of view and as a territorial planning

tool, to the point it was presented, together with the World

Meteorological Organization (WMO), at the invitation of the

Italian Government for climate change, at the COP29 in Baku.

I

n collaboration with the WMO and UNDP, the project will

continue with a series of awareness-raising and

dissemination activities in the mountainous areas of Pakistan

a

nd, at the international scientif ic level, in the context

of the International Year of Glaciers announced by the United

Nations for 2025.

Finally, also the One Health initiative continued, a network

of laboratories located in the Gilgit-Baltistan region

(Pakistan) dedicated to studying and protecting the health

of nature and animals.
