Good Night!
This year also, 6th September is being celebrated, but in a very simple way because the country is hit by the devastating floods.
Some analysts believe that climate change is a bigger threat to Pakistan than terrorism (we couldn't have witnessed this in a way more daunting than the recent floods).
According to the Global Terrorism Index 2022, deaths from terrorism have fallen by over a third since the peak in 2015, with two of the largest decreases occurring in Iraq and Pakistan.
On the other hand, for the past 20 years, Pakistan has consistently ranked among the top 10 most vulnerable countries on the Climate Risk Index.
