Save the Climate

Humans are increasingly becoming vulnerable to violent conflicts or natural and climatic disasters that can erase decade’s development and further entrench poverty and inequality. In Pakistan, although all the provinces are susceptible to natural disasters, it becomes especially true for all Pakistan where disaster is always lingering on cloaked in successive and elongated intervals of drought caused by the climatic changes. Punjab especially southern Punjab is extremely vulnerable to environmental and climatic disasters as the means to cope with such incidents are limited by the financial resources and expertise. This results in a disproportionately large number of populations vulnerable to disasters caused by recurring drought, torrential rains, cyclones etc. Save the Climate Program RCDS strives to enable people and institutions to rethink their development objectives in relation to their natural environment. It works on converting risks into opportunities through exploiting resources in sustainable manner sensitization, realization and mainstreaming while focusing on preparedness and mitigation rather than response and rehabilitation.
