Description:Pakistan faces intersecting crises of climate-induced disasters, economic instability, and energy insecurity, disproportionately affecting vulnerable populations. The 2022 floods, which impacted over 33 million people and caused nearly USD 30 billion in damages, underscore the urgent need for integrated, resilient solutions.This project addresses these challenges through a transformative, multi-sectoral approach.
