A reply from Saurav Dutt @sd_saurav No. Extensive deforestation and the building of dams for irrigation and power generation across tributaries of the Indus river is the cause. Years of political unrest have also left their mark, + flood waters transport land mines, posing an extra danger to relief missions.

In Pakistan, climate change is not a threat- it's a lived reality. 33 million affected by the devastating floods. Over 1000 people killed and 200k+ homes destroyed. Pakistan produces less than 1% of global carbon emissions but it's disproportionately affected by global warming. pic.twitter.com/fXsOgFkbup
