AIR CareAir pollution is a pressing issue for Pakistan, with major urban areas experiencing steadily worsening ambient air quality and rising public health concerns. Recognising the risks to human health and in alignment with the priorities of the Ministry of Climate Change and Environmental Coordination (MoCC&EC), AIRCARE project (funded by GIZ as an Eigenmaßnahme) complements the World Bank’s Punjab Clean Air Project (PCAP) by aligning its technical support with the chosen pollution sectors in Lahore Division, given the deepening air quality crisis. |

CRFClimate change-induced extreme weather events in Pakistan are inflicting an annual economic toll of approximately $4 billion USD. The 2022 flood exacerbated this crisis, disproportionately impacting impoverished areas and leaving 33 million people homeless. Over a million livestock perished, and up to 9.1 million people were pushed into poverty. Public financial assistance for emergency relief falls short, burdening citizens and businesses |

LT LEDSPakistan contributes less than 1% of global greenhouse gas emissions but is highly vulnerable to climate change. The country faces an increasing frequency and intensity of extreme events such as droughts, floods, forest fires, and storms, leading to significant economic losses, averaging EUR 4 billion per year by 2021. The 2022 floods alone caused property damage estimated at EUR 30 billion. Such climate disasters have also exacerbated existing gender inequities in the country. |

DEDIPakistan’s Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) 3.0 commits the country to unconditionally reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 17 percent, compared to 2015 levels. In the energy sector, this requires increasing the share of on-grid renewable energy from around 30 percent today (including hydropower) to 60 percent by 2030. Achieving this transition places significant demands on the national power system. |

ETSAccording to the 2022 annual report of Pakistan's National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA), 59% of the country's electricity mix consists of fossil fuels, 25% is hydropower, 7% comes from renewable sources (wind, solar, and biomass), and 9% is nuclear power. Besides power generation, agriculture, industry, and transport are among the sectors with the highest greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in Pakistan. The industrial sector accounts for up to 37% of final energy consumption and around 30% of energy-related GHG emissions |

GIDRMDisasters claim human lives, destroy livelihoods, lead to the destruction of ecosystems, and are often still felt by societies years later.This was illustrated by the COVID-19 pandemic. In our increasingly interconnected world, climate change exacerbates disaster impacts in societies across all sectors. The economic loss due to extreme events and disasters has more than doubled in the past three decades. This trend further exacerbates existing inequalities as the human cost of disasters falls overwhelmingly on low- to middle-income countries. At the same time, an increase in disasters and disaster losses are predicted. |

NAPPakistan is increasingly vulnerable to climate-induced disasters,with floods and storms causing annual losses of about €4 billion.For instance, the 2022 floods caused property damages amounting to €30 billion. Compounding this instability, the recent 2025 floods have again displaced millions, devastated infrastructure, worsened food and water insecurity. These crises have disrupted health and power systems and heightened social and economic inequalities. Women and marginalised groups are disproportionately affected, due to heightened risks of displacement, limited access to resources, safe shelter, healthcare and as well as increased caregiving burdens during crises. |

Assessment of climate-related risks
The impacts associated with slow onset processes1 (e. g. sea
level rise, desertification, salinisation) and extreme weather
events (e. g. floods, cyclones, storm surges, heatwaves) are
increasing in frequency and / or intensity in many regions of
the world, resulting in growing climate-related risks. |
