Survey on the Devastating Pakistan Floods

Since early June 2022, the people of Pakistan have been subjected to extreme weather conditions, resulting in massive floods across a third of the country. The devastating flash floods have left Pakistan submerged by historic flooding, which has exceeded every norm witnessed in the past.

According to officials, the disaster killed over 1,400 people and displaced 33 million others. Moreover, they believe a third of the lives taken since the monsoon began were children. Regarding its economy, preliminary estimates of the flood’s economic damage have already surpassed $10 billion.

Officials from the Pakistan Meteorological Department blame climate change for the unusual flooding. From mid-June to late August, Pakistan experienced record rainfall in several bursts, with large portions of the country receiving 500%-700% of their usual August rain.

Despite contributing less than 1% of global greenhouse gas emissions, Pakistan is one of the most severely affected countries by climate change. Aspects that contributed to the flooding may also provide clues as to the role of climate change. Officials attribute the extreme rainfall to high carbon dioxide concentrations first. Second, the monsoon is a complex system vulnerable to La Nina and heat waves. Finally, over 7,000 glaciers in Pakistan’s northern mountainous regions are melting due to high temperatures.

The flooding has crippled a country already reeling from an economic crisis and double-digit inflation. As a result, Real Research launched a survey on the devastating Pakistan floods and aims to gather opinions on the same.
