In the coastal Pakistani city of Gwadar, the impacts of climate change are becoming increasingly evident. With a population of about 90,000 people, Gwadar is facing severe challenges due to extreme weather events and rising sea levels.
Last February, the city experienced almost 30 hours of continuous rain, leading to widespread destruction of infrastructure and homes. The combination of warming oceans, stronger waves, and heavier rainfall is exacerbating the vulnerability of Gwadar, situated on sand dunes at a low elevation along the Arabian Sea.
