Severe floods in Pakistan, increased by climate change, have led to the deaths of over 1,000 people this monsoon season. The flooding, affecting millions, results from melting glaciers and extreme weather, with the poorest communities suffering the most.
Key Facts
Floods have swept across Pakistan, starting in urban and rural areas, including Lahore, the capital of Punjab.
More than 1,000 people have died, and at least 6.9 million people have been affected this season alone.

The severe weather events are a consequence of climate change, even though Pakistan emits only about 1% of global greenhouse gases.
