This week's guest: Amjad Hussain Azar, Chief Minister of Gilgit-Baltistan.
Newly appointed, and already facing one of the biggest challenges of his term, Gilgit-Baltistan's climate crisis. In his first podcast interview since being elected, he sat down with AI Geo Navigators for a conversation that went further than most.
We talked about GB's growing dependence on unpredictable rivers and glaciers for power, the new Glacier Protection Authority meant to safeguard nearly 700 glaciers, and the tension between tourism revenue and fragile ecosystems. And about a man who spent years demanding change from the opposition benches, now having to make the call himself.
With our own regional office right here in Gilgit, this wasn't just an interview for us, it's the ground we work on every day, and it showed in how the conversation unfolded.

AI doesn’t start with data centers. It starts with data.
A water stressed country should treat water intelligence, climate monitoring, and environmental data as strategic national infrastructure. Without reliable data and sustainable water resources, AI becomes an expensive promise with limited impact.

RainClove is a mobile app that helps people in Pakistan estimate how much rainwater a property can collect and what size storage tank might be suitable. You place a pin on a map at your site, enter your plot size in marla, and choose whether it is a residential or commercial property. The app then calculates your annual harvest in liters, recommends an indicative tank size, and shows single-storm tank guidance for different rainfall events. It also pulls local rainfall history and shows how built-up the area around your pin has changed over recent years, with notes on urban growth, groundwater recharge potential, and flood risk.
The results include an indicative cost range in PKR, compliance-style guidance, setup diagrams, a maintenance checklist, and the option to save or export a PDF report. An optional AI assistant can answer general questions about rainwater harvesting and your latest analysis.

👉So I was at @AiGeoNavigators today for a few things & I learned about 𝗥𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗖𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲
With @CDAthecapital now moving towards mandating #RainwaterHarvesting, this feels especially timely.
𝗥𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗖𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲 is a simple but powerful app that helps you estimate how much #rainwater your property can actually collect just by dropping a pin, entering plot size (marla) and selecting property type.
It then shows:
• #RainwaterHarvesting potential (liters/year)
• Recommended tank size
• Local #rainfall + urban growth trends
• Flood risk & recharge insights
• Cost estimates in PKR
In short: it turns rainfall from uncertainty into planning data. Do try it out, its free 😊

The AI Geo Navigators Internship Program 2026, our Future Leadership Initiative for the summer, has turned out to be one of our biggest internship programs to date.
Our CEO, Asim Javid, addressed the interns and spoke about what this program is built on: artificial intelligence and geospatial data, and how together they can shape real solutions for policy and decision-making.
He also spoke about why the timing matters. Pakistan keeps facing new climate challenges, and we need young people who can read data, understand risk, and turn it into something useful. Over the next two months, the focus will be on practical skills, confidence, and learning to work as a real team.
The results are still ahead of us. But watching this group show up ready to learn, you get the sense something good is starting.

I spent this June in #Bonn for #SB64, sitting in on #UN_climate_negotiations. It was mostly small rooms and long days. People from different countries are arguing over details that never make the news, details that decide whether a climate promise actually becomes a working water pump, a road, or an early warning system somewhere that needs one.
One thought stayed with me the whole flight home. Setting targets isn't the hard part anymore. Delivering on them is. And delivery only means something if it reaches the people who actually need it.
I wrote down what I saw and what I think it means for where climate action is headed. Sharing it here.

Monsoon is coming and preparation can save lives.
Every year, we witness incidents where people try to cross flooded roads and rivers, often underestimating the power of moving water. The recent rescue of tourists in Naran is another reminder that a single decision can make all the difference.
At AI Geo Navigators, we believe awareness is the first step toward resilience.
This monsoon:
Avoid crossing flooded roads and rivers.
Check your home's drainage and roof before heavy rainfall.
Stay updated with weather forecasts and official alerts.
During thunderstorms, stay indoors and avoid unnecessary electrical use.
Keep an emergency kit ready with essentials.
Preparedness isn't about fear, it's about protecting yourself, your family, and your community.
Let's make this monsoon season safer by making informed decisions.
How do you prepare for the monsoon season? Share your safety tips in the comments.

The recent cloudburst in Thor Valley is a reminder that understanding risk is just as important as responding to disasters.
At AI Geo Navigators, we believe Hazard Mapping, GIS, Remote Sensing, and Disaster Risk Assessment are essential for identifying vulnerable areas and supporting informed, data-driven decisions.
Building resilience starts with understanding the landscape.

Is Pakistan's "around 1% of global greenhouse gas emissions" claim true, or is it misleading?
The answer is not as simple as it seems.
Pakistan contributes only a small share of global greenhouse gas emissions, yet it is one of the countries most vulnerable to climate change. But that's only part of the story.
In this video, we explore the data behind Pakistan's greenhouse gas emissions, the concept of climate justice, and why meaningful climate action must also begin at home.
Pakistan deserves climate justice, but climate action must also begin at home.

Water doesn't carry a passport.
It crosses mountains, glaciers, and borders, following gravity, not treaties. That's the real story behind Pakistan's floods not one storm, not one country, but one connected river system shared across a region.
In 2025, we saw what that means. Families displaced. Fields underwater. Roads gone in hours.
Behind every flood map is someone starting over.
The full episode is coming this Monday. Stay tuned.

Our cities are getting hotter every year. Some seasons bring almost no rain, other times just a few hours of rain is enough to flood everything.
So is this just weather, or is it climate change catching up with us?
According to a recent WMO update, the chances of El Niño developing later this year are higher than usual. It's not here yet, but the signs are showing, and that's worth watching closely, especially for a country like Pakistan.
This is a quick look into our upcoming episode on climate risk and preparedness. Full episode drops this Friday.
Stay tuned.

Pakistan's summers are becoming increasingly unpredictable every year, sudden heatwaves, erratic rainfall, and prolonged dry spells that make planning and preparedness more challenging than ever.
At AI Geo Navigators, we decided to build something to help make sense of it all.
We're excited to launch our Pakistan Seasonal Climate Intelligence Dashboard , Summer 2026.
In simple terms, the dashboard brings together AI, GIS, and satellite data to provide one clear picture of how the season is unfolding across Pakistan, so people don't have to dig through scattered reports or rely on guesswork.
This is exactly what we're passionate about at AI Geo Navigators: turning complex climate and geospatial information into actionable intelligence for government planning, disaster risk reduction, agriculture, and research.
Take a look here: https://t.co/kfGir3uL3v
We'd love your thoughts. And if climate resilience, geospatial AI, or climate intelligence is something you work on too, let's connect.

Pakistan is one of the most climate-vulnerable countries in the world. So when the FY2026–27 budget was announced, the question on everyone's mind was simple: is climate finally a priority, or just a label?
We dug into the numbers, and here's what stood out:
The Federal PSDP for FY2026–27 stands at Rs 1 trillion. Out of that, the Climate Change & Environmental Coordination Division received just Rs 2.48 billion, that's only 0.25% of the total development budget.
What's more concerning is the trend. Five years ago, in FY2021–22, the climate ministry's allocation was Rs 14.3 billion. Today it's Rs 2.48 billion, an 83% decline over five years.
On the positive side, disaster response and recovery budgets have seen real increases this year. But environment protection spending continues to shrink, and overall climate ministry funding keeps falling.
So the question we're asking in this video is: Is Pakistan's budget preparing the country to prevent climate disasters, or only preparing to respond after they happen?
We break down the full numbers adaptation, mitigation, disaster management, and what's actually changed from FY2025–26 to FY2026–27.
Watch the full video and let us know what you think.

For 65 years, one treaty kept two nuclear powers from going to war over water.
Then in April 2025, India suspended the Indus Waters Treaty. And on May 15, 2026, an international court ruled in Pakistan's favor on a key dispute over a single word pondage, only for India to call that court illegal and walk away.
In this episode, we break down everything. What "pondage" actually means, and why it matters more than you'd think. What the Indus Waters Treaty actually says. What this new ruling means. And the part nobody is talking about, what Pakistan still needs to do, because a ruling in your favor is not the same as securing your water.
The Indus, the Jhelum, the Chenab these rivers feed 240 million people. This affects every farmer, every household, every city downstream. We tried to explain it as simply as possible, without the legal jargon, so anyone can understand exactly what's happening.

Would love to hear your thoughts, especially from anyone working in water policy, international law, or regional security.

The international court just ruled in favor of Pakistan over our rivers.
India called that court illegal and walked away.
Let that sink in for a second.
We are talking about the Indus, the Jhelum, the Chenab the rivers that have fed this land for thousands of years. 240 million people depend on them. And right now, there is a legal battle happening over those rivers that most people have never even heard of.
We sat down and broke the whole thing apart. What the ruling actually says. What India's rejection means. And the part nobody is talking about, what Pakistan still needs to do, because a ruling in your favor is not the same as securing your water.
This one is important. And we tried to make it as simple and clear as possible so anyone can understand it.
Full episode coming this Monday. Stay tuned.

This week on the AI Geo Navigators Podcast, we sat down with Dr. Mazhar Kiani, a public health doctor who trained in Pakistan and built his career in the NHS.
And we had the kind of conversation that needed to happen.
Heatwave alerts across Pakistan. Temperatures hitting 50°C. Flood survivors still battling disease. Communities with no clean water. People walking into clinics with nowhere else to go.
We talked about climate and health, diseases after floods, whether our health system is actually ready, and whether the world is paying enough attention to what Pakistan is going through.
Honest. Real. And important.

Pakistan has been allocating billions of rupees in the name of climate action, but how much money is actually being spent, and where is it going?
In this video, we look at Pakistan's climate budgets across three fiscal years (2023–24, 2024–25, and 2025–26). From the introduction of Climate Budget Tagging after the 2022 floods to what the government calls Pakistan's first truly climate-focused budget, we break down the numbers, but the questions that still remain.
Are these budgets leading to real climate action, or are they just bigger numbers on paper?
Watch the full video and share your thoughts.
In the next video, we'll do a full breakdown of the FY 2026-27 climate budget where the money is going, what's been prioritised, and what the numbers actually tell us.
