Disaster Management Services
World’s climate is changing because of the imbalances in nature caused by human activity. Global warming is an undeniable issue that is leading to a higher frequency of natural disasters such as floods, heavy rains, droughts, storms, hurricanes and wildfires. The dilemma is Pakistan’s contribution in carbon emission is <1% but we are in the top 10 most affected countries of the world
Pakistan is at high risk due to climate change and natural disasters. Events such as heat waves, flooding, drought, earthquakes, snow storms, flash rains and typhoons have haunted the country for years and regularly swept away the foundations on which the lives of hundreds of thousands of families were built.
