The Urgency: Climate Change in Pakistan
Pakistan contributes less than 1% of global greenhouse gas emissions, but among the world’s most climate‑vulnerable countries. In 2022, record monsoon rains and glacial melt submerged a third of the country, causing up to 40 billion USD in damages, killing 1,760, and displacing over 33 million people aa.com.tr+2en.wikipedia.org+2nature.com+2. Earlier in 2024, over 568 lives were lost in a prolonged heatwave that reached 49 °C (120 °F) in Sindh province theguardian.com+2en.wikipedia.org+2en.wikipedia.org+2.
This year, Pakistan ranked most vulnerable in the 2025 Climate Risk Index, due to its deadly floods and intense heat waves adb.org+15aa.com.tr+15thenews.com.pk+15. During the April 2025 heatwave, temperatures surged to 50 °C (122 °F) in places, triggering widespread power failures and health emergencies climameter.org.
Beyond immediate disasters, average temperatures in Pakistan have risen roughly 0.63 °C over the last century, sea levels along Karachi’s coast are rising 1–3.6 mm per year, and forest coverage barely exceeds 5 %, while deforestation rates remain alarmingly high en.wikipedia.org+15dicf.unepgrid.ch+15amnesty.org+15.
Real Impacts, Real Challenges
- Crop losses: The 2022 floods wiped out ~50% of staple crop fields .
- Health crises: Extreme flooding led to 6.6 million additional malaria cases between 2022–2024, peaking with 2.7 million in 2023 — compared to just 399,097 in 2021 emro.who.int.
- Water scarcity: Over 10 million people lost access to safe drinking water after the 2022 floods — compounded by heat‑induced droughts and tensions over Indus river flows time.com.
Our Vision: Plant a Future by Planting Trees
Mission: To plant 500,000 trees every month — rejuvenating degraded lands, purifying polluted air, creating shades of sustainability, and restoring ecosystems for future generations.
How We Make an Impact
🌳 Rebuild green zones
From urban pockets to rural plains, we reforest lost green belts — reducing flood risk, cooling cities, and restoring biodiversity.
👩‍🏫 Community planting
Engaging schools, families, and local laborers turns tree‑planting into a shared mission, educating future stewards of the environment.
⚠️ Disaster response
In flooding or heatwave emergencies, our tree‑based strategies (e.g. riparian buffer belts) help stabilize soil, absorb water, and mitigate future disasters.
đź’Ľ Livelihoods for all
By hiring nursery workers and planters, we create sustainable employment, supporting both environment and economy.
🌱 Words of wisdom
“When you plant a tree, you plant a future.”
Why Trees Matter Now
- Stabilizing climate: Trees draw down COâ‚‚, helping to moderate the extreme weather Pakistan faces.
- Purifying air & water: Urban planting filters pollution; riparian trees revive water tables and protect riverbanks.
- Shielding communities: Shade trees reduce heat-related health risks and protect from extreme temperatures.
- Boosting food security: Trees support crop micro‑climates, reduce soil erosion, and prevent landslides.
Take Action With Us
- Donate: Your gift helps cultivate hundreds of seedlings each month.
- Volunteer: Bring your family, class, or organization to planting events.
- Partner: Collaborate if you are a school, business, or NGO — to scale this vision.
Together, We Can Turn the Tide
Pakistan’s climate crisis is urgent — but not insurmountable. Each tree planted offers cleaner air, stronger communities, and a resilient future. Join us in our pledge to restore life to dry lands, battle the climate emergency, and assure a greener world for the generations ahead.
Plant a tree. Plant a future.
