They claim that they have already begun building climate-resilient housing in areas where there is a high need for clean energy and developing early-warning equipment.
Rehman told AFP that” Pakistan is experiencing a climatic polycrisis, but pretty much everything needs to be addressed quickly and effectively.”
Pakistan has experienced dangerous heatwaves in addition to flood, and its dust levels are among the worst in the planet.
