Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

Despite Pakistan's potential, persistent climate shocks and development challenges are severely impacting nutrition and food security. The country is highly climate-vulnerable, facing frequent and intense floods, droughts, and heatwaves, which requires sustained multi-sectoral action.
