What’s Driving the Surge of Floods
Pakistan’s recent flooding is fueled by intensifying monsoon cycles, flash floods, glacier melt, and poor planning hallmarks of our changing climate. In 2025, flash floods swept through Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Sindh, Punjab, parts of Balochistan, and Azad Kashmir, causing hundreds of deaths, widespread displacement, and critical damage to housing and infrastructure.
