Over a year after Pakistan floods, survivors battle climate anxiety

Al Jazeera  

Pakistan last year experienced unprecedented floods. While the immediate concerns of food, shelter and water have been largely addressed, climate anxiety among the flood-affected communities across Pakistan has failed to make headlines. Although climate anxiety is a newly coined term, it reflects a distress that has long been felt by these communities. Amid the increasing threat of climate change, floods in Pakistan have grown more frequent, resulting in some communities facing an unending cycle of displacement and despair. Despite contributing very little to the global climate crisis, Pakistan remains one of the countries most vulnerable to the effects of climate change.
