📈 Pakistan faces record high inflation at 37%, leading to a 50% YoY increase in essential item prices. Let's explore the causes and consequences. (1/3)
The demands from the Indus river bank protests echo loud and clear: reject extractive practices and ecologically harmful hydraulic projects, and protect the river and its people!

The local population has the lowest electricity access. In Sindh, the share of households without any source of electricity is over 7%, while outside Karachi, close to 22% of the population relies on off-grid solutions instead.

Despite contributing only 0.52% to global CO2 emissions, Pakistan bears the worst climate impacts.
The 2022 floods submerged a third of the country with 1,600+ lives lost, 30 million affected and $30 billion in damages (~10% of GDP)

Despite being among the top 10 most climate-vulnerable countries, Pakistan's NDC 2.0 lacks community involvement, failing to prioritize rehabilitation for those hit hardest by climate change.

The 2021 Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) set ambitious targets to combat climate change in Pakistan. However, they fail to address the rehabilitation of communities impacted by climate change.

The moratoriums placed on imported coal in NDCs 2.0 are not enough. Local coal mining and power generation have wreaked havoc on the lives, livelihoods, and the environment of local communities.

The 2022 floods were largely driven by human-induced climate change!
Years of large dam and water projects promoted by the World Bank and ADB have worsened Pakistan's climate situation.
Harmful projects, like debt-heavy dams on the Indus, costly coal power, reliance on fossil fuels, and poorly planned privatization, have pushed the country to the edge.
Pakistan’s climate and debt crisis can not be understood, let alone resolved, without addressing the historical injustices responsible for this catastrophe.

The countries most affected by climate change are often those that contribute the least to greenhouse gas emissions. This disparity underscores the need for climate justice, which requires the Global North to take responsibility not just through debt relief but by actively supporting the Global South in mitigating the impacts of climate change and adapting to its consequences through financial and technical resources.

If NDCs were informed bottom up, rather through a heavily bureaucratic non-consultative process, the citizens of Sindh would have voted for fossil fuel energy projects (1/2)
