Devastation on repeat: How climate change is worsening Pakistan's deadly floods

Climate change exacerbates deadly floods in Pakistan, where monsoons cause devastation every year. Glacial melts lead to "glacial lake outbursts" and flash floods in the north, while unregulated construction near rivers worsens flooding in urban areas. The poorest communities suffer the most, as witnessed in Punjab where floods displaced millions, affecting food security and healthcare access. Efforts to enforce building regulations and promote climate-resilient housing are crucial in mitigating the impact of recurring floods in Pakistan.
