Pakistan is home to one of the largest glacier systems in the world outside the polar regions, but climate change is rapidly turning this natural resource into a serious threat. With more than 7,000 glaciers  located in the northern mountain ranges of the Hindu Kush, Karakoram, and Himalayas, Pakistan is increasingly facing floods caused by rising temperatures and accelerated glacier melting. Although Pakistan contributes less than 1% of global carbon emissions , it is among

Pakistan is increasingly facing a dual climate crisis: recurring floods and the displacement of communities due to climate-related disasters. With rapid glacier melt, monsoon variability, and rising river levels , millions of people are being forced to leave their homes, creating one of the country’s most pressing humanitarian challenges. According to the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) , the country experienced record rainfall and glacier-fed river flooding in 2022

Climate change affects every country, but its impacts are not evenly spread. Some of the countries that contribute the least to global emissions face the harshest consequences. This imbalance highlights a critical issue: global energy inequality shapes climate vulnerability in ways that deepen existing injustices. Understanding why low-emission countries suffer the worst climate impacts is essential for creating fair and effective climate policies. The Link Between Energy Use

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is emerging as a powerful ally in the fight to protect the planet. From monitoring forests and wildlife to tracking pollution, AI is helping governments, scientists, and NGOs respond faster and more effectively to environmental challenges. Tracking Deforestation: Illegal logging continues to threaten forests worldwide. AI-powered satellite imaging and machine learning now allow conservationists to detect deforestation in real time. Platforms like

In the first 100 days of his second presidency, Donald Trump has launched an unprecedented campaign to dismantle environmental protections in the United States. His administration has initiated 145 actions to weaken or repeal rules safeguarding clean air, clean water, public health, and the climate—surpassing the total number of environmental rollbacks carried out during his entire first term. The measures target nearly every major environmental policy, including regulations

Rainforests play a vital role in regulating the Earth’s climate, supporting biodiversity, and sustaining millions of people. Covering less than 10% of the planet’s land surface, they are home to more than half of the world’s plant and animal species. Yet the world’s major rainforest regions—the Amazon , the Congo Basin , and Southeast Asia —continue to face intense pressure from deforestation, illegal logging, mining, and agricultural expansion. The Amazon rainforest , often

Climate change is no longer a distant threat—it is displacing millions of people worldwide. Rising sea levels, extreme weather events, prolonged droughts, and desertification are forcing communities to leave their homes, creating a growing crisis known as climate-induced migration . According to the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC) , over 30 million people were displaced by climate-related disasters in 2023 alone , a figure that far exceeds the number of those d

As Pakistan faces increasing environmental threats—from deforestation and air pollution to climate change and flooding—local NGOs, non-profits, and government bodies are stepping up efforts to protect the country’s natural resources and build resilience against future disasters. One of the most notable national efforts is the Ten Billion Tree Tsunami Programme , a large‑scale reforestation initiative led by the Ministry of Climate Change . Originally launched in 2018, the pro
