As Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Thailand and parts of Malaysia reel from deadly floods and mudslides, Pakistan is another country in Asia that has faced catastrophic flooding this year. Since June, flooding across Pakistan has displaced more than four million people, killed at least 1,000, damaged more than 230,000 houses and washed away almost 23,000 livestock. Climate change is seen as one of several factors contributing to the deluge. Pakistan ranks among the top 10 most climate-vulnerable nations, but it contributes less than 1 percent of global emissions.
