Objectives	Pakistan is highly vulnerable due to the impact of climate change. Experts warned that impact would be severe in coming years due to five major risks associated with climate change i.e. glacier retreats, floods, rise in sea level, floods and higher frequency of drought. Satellite remote sensing along with Geo-Information Technology is the effective way to assess impact of climate change. This training aims at providing hands-on to the researchers, subject specialists, environmentalist, Policy makers, teachers and students to apply sophisticated tools for studying environment, glaciers and climate change through Remote Sensing technology.
