It is expected that a significant number of people, ranging from 25 million to as many as 1 billion, will be forced to migrate by the year 2050 due to the impacts of climate change. This prediction comes in light of recent events, such as heavy rainfall in August that affected over 50 million people in the Sindh region, leaving hundreds of thousands of individuals without shelter, forcing them to live on the roadside. The National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) has declared 80 districts in the country as 'calamity-hit,' with 23 of them located in Sindh. These developments highlight the growing challenges and consequences of climate change on human populations and the urgent need for adaptation and mitigation efforts.
