Ladakh Ecological Development Group (LEDeG) under ‘Liveable Leh’, a project funded by the European Union and supported by BORDA (Bremen Overseas Research and Development Association) and GIZ (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit), is currently working towards achieving an inclusive, resilient and liveable Himalayan city. The main focus of the project is to mitigate Climate Change and also to achieve Sustainable Development Goals 6 (clean water and sanitation) and 11 (sustainable cities and communities). As a part of this initiative, LEDeG is launching a Global Design Competition on solutions to resolve problems in high-altitude towns, under Work Package 4.8 of the Liveable Leh project.
This design competition Liveable Leh: Call for Ideas, aims to explore and develop cutting-edge innovations to fight climate change at high altitudes. Research has shown that high altitude areas are the earliest to be affected by climate change and therefore are a bellwether for changes that other regions may experience in the future. The best ideas will be awarded, published, and disseminated to other similar regions which may find these solutions useful.
