Turning Pakistan’s natural beauty into economic strength
Pakistan has long possessed all the ingredients needed to emerge as a major tourism destination, yet its vast potential remains only partially realised. From the snow-covered peaks of the north to the archaeological treasures of ancient civilisations, fro…
Intense Rainfall
Pakistan is once again experiencing the fury of nature; images from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Sindh, and now Punjab, as well as Azad Jammu and Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan, depict destruction. In addition to forecasting heavy rainfall and thunderstorms through …
Calls for Accountability in Gaza

Focus on Climate Change & Vulnerability
It is easy to confuse images and videos from Gilgit-Baltistan (GB) and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) for scenes from a post-apocalyptic film.  It is impossible to describe the extent of the devastation inflicted by flash floods.  The floods killed hun…
Pakistan’s stance
Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar’s recent address at the high-level international conference on Palestine in New York was more than just a diplomatic statement; it was an impassioned clarion call, resonating with the anguish of a nation long suffering and the m…
A Lifeline of Support
